No, and it is important to be clear about this. It is an NNWA skill-enhancement certificate, not a UGC degree, and it does not confer Registered Dietitian or IDA status. It gives you a strong, credible foundation you can build on with further study.
What support do I get during the three months?
You have mentor support to answer your questions throughout, plus lifetime access to the recordings so you can revise any topic later.
