How Distance Learning Works

Study from home with Nutriluma, our personal learning platform. No attendance required, no fixed timetable - just quality education, practical tools, and personal tutor support that fits around your life.

Your Learning Journey

1

Enrol and Activate Nutriluma

After enrolling, you'll get instant access to Nutriluma - our personal learning platform. Download the app, log your first meal, and start exploring from day one. All course materials are available immediately.

2

Meet Your Tutor

You're assigned a personal tutor who'll support you throughout your studies. They can see your Nutriluma tracking data, giving them context to provide more targeted, personalised feedback. Available via email, phone, or video call.

3

Start Tracking Your Own Nutrition

Photograph meals and build your personal nutrition profile in Nutriluma. As you work through the course modules, your own data becomes your primary study material - making theory visceral and personal.

4

Study with Built-in Tutor Support

Nutriluma's built-in tutor has access to all 2,004 lessons in the Plaskett curriculum. Ask it anything - at midnight, at the weekend, in the middle of an assignment. Submit work to your personal tutor for detailed marking and feedback.

5

Submit Assignments with Real Data

Your assignments are enriched by months of personal tracking data. For diploma courses, you'll also work through case studies - applying the same analytical skills you've been developing on your own nutrition.

6

Graduate as a Data-Literate Practitioner

You'll graduate with months of real nutritional data analysis experience - not just theoretical knowledge. For IICT-accredited courses, you can then apply for professional membership and insurance.

Common Questions

How many hours per week do I need to study?
This varies depending on the course and your pace. For the Professional Diploma in Nutritional Therapy, most students study around 10-12 hours per week and complete in 2-3 years. Shorter courses require less time. You set your own schedule.
Is there a time limit to complete?
We allow up to 4 years for the main diploma courses, with extensions available for illness or special circumstances. Most students complete well within this time.
Do I need to attend any classes or exams?
No. Everything is done at home. There are no attendance requirements and no formal exams. Assessment is through assignments and case studies marked by your tutor.
What if I get stuck or need help?
You have two layers of support. Nutriluma's built-in tutor can answer curriculum questions instantly - any time of day. For deeper guidance, assignment feedback, and personal mentoring, your personal tutor is available via email, phone, or video call.
