06Questions

What do people ask before enrolling on the Diabetes Educator?

Does this make me a medical diabetes specialist?

No. This is a skill-enhancement certificate, not a medical or clinical qualification. As a diabetes educator you support and reinforce the plans set by doctors and registered dietitians, rather than diagnosing or prescribing treatment.

Can I advise diabetic patients after this?

You can educate clients on diet, lifestyle and self-management in a supportive role alongside their treating doctor. Medication and clinical decisions must stay with qualified medical professionals.

Who is this course best suited to?

It suits health workers, nutrition professionals, coaches and caregivers who already work with or care for people managing blood sugar. It is an advanced course, so some health or nutrition grounding helps.

How is the course delivered?

It runs fully online over about two months, in English and Hindi, with lifetime access to the recordings and mentor support throughout.

What certificate will I earn?

You earn the Certified Diabetes Educator skill-enhancement certificate from NNWA on completion. EMI payment options are available for the fee.
