Important Information
Nutritional Therapy in the UK
Nutritional therapy is not a regulated profession in the UK. This means anyone can technically call themselves a nutritional therapist. However, having an accredited qualification demonstrates to clients and employers that you've completed rigorous training.
IICT and FNTP membership also requires adherence to codes of conduct and ethics, providing additional assurance to clients.
Scope of Practice
Our courses train you to work as a complementary practitioner. Nutritional therapists do not diagnose, treat, or cure disease. You'll learn to work alongside conventional healthcare, referring clients to appropriate medical professionals when needed.
International Practice
If you plan to practise outside the UK, research local regulations. Some countries have specific requirements for nutritional practitioners. IICT can provide guidance on recognition in different countries.
