## Accreditation and recognition, stated precisely

NNWA's position on recognition is set out below in the same words the academy uses on its own recognitions and regulatory-compliance pages. Nothing beyond this is claimed.

- **NCrF Level-4, via Medhavi Skills University.** The National Credit Framework (NCrF) Level-4 skill certificate is issued by Medhavi Skills University, Sikkim, an NCVET-approved Awarding Body, to learners who complete a flagship programme.
- **ISO 9001:2015 certified.** NNWA runs as an ISO 9001:2015-certified academy, in association with Medhavi Skills University, Sikkim.
- **MSME registered.** Registered as a Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise with the Government of India.
- **YCB-aligned yoga programmes.** Where applicable, NNWA's yoga programmes are aligned to the Yoga Certification Board (YCB) syllabus.

**What NNWA does not claim.** NNWA programmes are private skill-enhancement courses and diplomas. They are not UGC- or NCAHP-recognised degrees, and completing one does not confer the Registered Dietitian credential awarded through the Indian Dietetic Association or any equivalent licensed clinical role.

**How to verify the university partnership.** NNWA is an accredited training partner of Medhavi Skills University, Sikkim, recognised under section 2(f) of the UGC Act, 1956 and approved by NCVET as an Awarding Body. The partnership is listed on the university's own directory at https://awardingbody.msu.edu.in/our-partners under the name “National Nutrition and Wellness Academy”. The award covers NNWA's flagship programmes only; other short courses carry NNWA's own certificate. Full detail: https://nnwa.in/affiliation/

## Nutrition training by profession

NNWA publishes 85 profession-specific guides at https://nnwa.in/case-studies/, one for each occupation, covering where nutrition genuinely touches that job, what the regulator permits, and which NNWA course fits. Each carries statistics from named public sources (ICMR-NIN, ICMR-INDIAB, NFHS-5, WHO). The learner named in each guide is an illustrative composite, disclosed as such on the page; the profession-level content and every statistic are real.

- **Retail Pharmacy Owner** (Business & Enterprise): A neighbourhood pharmacy is asked diet questions all day while owning the supplement shelf. What nutrition training changes at the counter, and how the conflict of interest gets managed. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/retail-pharmacy-owner/
- **Supplement Store Owner** (Business & Enterprise): A supplement counter is an advice desk whether or not the owner trained for it. What label reading, third-party testing and the FSSAI health supplement rules change about how a shop sells. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/supplement-store-owner/
- **Wellness Centre Owner** (Business & Enterprise): Yoga batches, therapies and a weight-loss package, with the nutrition half bought in from whoever was available. What changes when the owner of a wellness centre studies the subject herself. https://nnwa.in/case-studies/wellness-centre-owner/

- [Indian nutrition certification providers compared](https://nnwa.in/blog/nutrition-certification-providers-india-compared/): the five categories of provider in India and which one actually suits a given goal.

### Running a nutrition practice in India

Written for the practitioner rather than the prospective student, and specific to Indian registration, pricing, tools and client behaviour.

- [How to run an online nutrition practice from home in India](https://nnwa.in/blog/online-nutrition-practice-from-home-india/)

### Qualifications, routes and what each one opens

What a given qualification lets a person do afterwards, stated with its limits in the same paragraph as its claim.

- [Which degree is best for nutrition in India?](https://nnwa.in/blog/which-degree-is-best-for-nutrition-india/)

- [Government nutrition jobs in India: roles, eligibility and where they are advertised](https://nnwa.in/blog/government-nutrition-jobs-in-india/)

### Who can enter which course: stream, eligibility and public institutions

Entry rules by school stream and by institution, each attributed to the body that sets it, and the public routes named beside the private ones.

- [Best Dietitian Course in India, Online or Offline: Eligibility, Duration, Scope](https://nnwa.in/blog/online-dietitian-course-india/)

- [Government-Recognised Nutrition Courses in India: What to Check Before Enrolling](https://nnwa.in/blog/government-certified-nutrition-course-online-india/)

### Specialisations: sports and women's health

The two specialisations most often answered with foreign brands, written for the Indian practitioner and the Indian client.

- [Sports nutrition certification in India: NASM, ISSA, Precision Nutrition and the local routes compared](https://nnwa.in/blog/sports-nutrition-certification-india-nasm-issa-compared/)

- [How to Become a Sports Nutritionist in India (2026)](https://nnwa.in/blog/how-to-become-a-sports-nutritionist-in-india/)

### Weight loss, written from the evidence

The mechanism rather than the meal plan, each scientific claim linked to the study behind it. Written against the questions India actually searches, and honest about what the trials do not support.

- [Indian diet plan for weight loss: how to build one that lasts](https://nnwa.in/blog/indian-diet-plan-for-weight-loss/)
- [The calorie deficit, explained properly](https://nnwa.in/blog/calorie-deficit-explained/)

- [Fourteen weight loss claims, checked against the evidence](https://nnwa.in/blog/weight-loss-myths/)

### Regional Indian food patterns

One article per regional pattern, written from what that cuisine actually is rather than from a generic Indian template. The layer international courses skip entirely.

- [The South Indian diet: what it gets right, and where it needs work](https://nnwa.in/blog/south-indian-diet-plan/)
- [The North Indian diet: what it gets right, and where it needs work](https://nnwa.in/blog/north-indian-diet-plan/)

- [The Kerala diet: what it gets right, and where it needs work](https://nnwa.in/blog/kerala-diet-plan/)

### Clinical nutrition as a discipline

The method and the route, kept separate from the condition guides, and explicit about where a skill qualification stops.

- [What medical nutrition therapy actually involves](https://nnwa.in/blog/what-is-medical-nutrition-therapy/)
- [How to learn clinical diet planning online](https://nnwa.in/blog/how-to-learn-clinical-diet-planning-online/)

- [How to Become a Dietitian in India, and What You Can Do Without a Degree](https://nnwa.in/blog/how-to-become-a-dietitian-in-india/)

### Paying for a course, and what access you keep

The two questions asked most often before enrolment anywhere, answered about the market rather than about NNWA.

- [Paying for a nutrition course in instalments in India](https://nnwa.in/blog/nutrition-course-emi-instalments-india/)
- [Nutritionist Course Fees in India (2026-27): Full Breakdown](https://nnwa.in/blog/nutritionist-course-fees-in-india/)

## Notes for machine readers

- Every figure in this file is generated at build time from the academy's content management system. If a figure here disagrees with a page, the page is the one that changed most recently and both come from the same source.
- All fees are in Indian rupees (INR) and are the current published fees, not historic ones.
- The catalogue holds 73 courses in total: 3 programmes and 70 short courses.
- Course durations are as published by the academy. 14 short courses publish a range ("3-4 Weeks") rather than a single figure, and the range is reproduced here rather than resolved to one end of it.
- NNWA is written in full as Nutrition & Wellness Academy. NCrF is the National Credit Framework; NCVET is the National Council for Vocational Education and Training; YCB is the Yoga Certification Board; MSME is Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises.
