We are a private centre providing mostly higher education degree courses in nutrition which are validated by Middlesex University.
About Us
At CNELM we understand that making the right choice for your education and future career is important. As a private educational centre we are committed to providing nutrition courses that have international and professional recognition.
CNELM was founded by Kate Neil in 2001 with the aim to provide high quality, accessible, globally relevant and engaging education in personalised nutrition. Our primary focus is teaching university validated higher education nutrition degree courses which we have been doing successfully since 2003. The BSc (Hons) Nutritional Science and the MSc in Personalised Nutrition are validated for distance learning meeting our intentions to reach out to a global audience.
As nutrition is a bioscience discipline we provide bioscience entry courses for access to the undergraduate and postgraduate degrees that can be part-attended or accessed fully online.
Applicants who choose to study with us that also wish to practice as a nutritional therapist can combine their degree studies with CNELM’s Personalised Nutrition Practice Diploma (PNPD). The PNPD can be integrated alongside or taken after the undergraduate and the postgraduate degree courses. A range of shorter nutrition and coaching courses are also available as standalone CNELM qualifications.
Partnership with Middlesex University
The degree courses we teach are validated by Middlesex University:
Nutritional Therapy Accreditation
The two routes to nutritional therapy practice that we teach are accredited by the Nutritional Therapy Education Commission (NTEC):
Successfully completing an NTEC accredited nutritional therapy course enables graduates to apply to register with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), and to become a member of the professional body, the British Association for Applied Nutrition & Nutritional Therapy (BANT) (subject to having met the requirements of the CNHC and BANT). Registration and membership is the prerogative of CNHC and BANT and not CNELM.
The CNHC is the UK voluntary regulator for complementary therapists. CNHC’s register has been approved as an Accredited Voluntary Register by the Professional Standard Authority for Health and Social Care.
Other Nutrition & Coaching Courses
We teach other shorter courses enabling graduates to seek memberships of other professional associations.
The NLP Practitioner Certificate we teach (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is an internationally recognised qualification. On successful completion of the course you will receive an NLP Practitioner certificate from UKCPD and can apply for professional membership of the ANLP.
The CNELM Dietary Educator Certificate is accredited by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). Graduates of this course can apply to register with the FHT.
