06Questions

What do people ask before enrolling on the Antioxidants & Phytochemicals?

Is this a chemistry-heavy course?

It covers the science, but explained for practical use rather than as a laboratory module. An intermediate nutrition or health background helps you get the most from it.

Will it teach me to prescribe antioxidant supplements?

No. It focuses on food-first, evidence-based guidance and helps you assess supplement claims critically rather than sell them.

Is it online and in which languages?

Yes, fully online with lifetime access to recordings, in both English and Hindi.

What certificate will I receive?

An NNWA skill-enhancement certificate recognising the specialised knowledge you have built. It is not a UGC degree.

How long is the course and is help available?

It runs over three to four weeks with mentor support throughout, and the recordings remain yours for life.

How it works

What happens after you enrol?

No pressure and no obligation — speak to us first, decide afterwards.
