All courses listed in this section of the website are AfN Certified, so you can be confident that they deliver evidence-based training to our benchmarked standards.
Each course has been independently assessed against the standards stated in the relevant sector framework by experts in the field and carry a uniquely numbered AfN Certified Course Logo.
Certified courses are designed to provide an introduction to nutrition science or to provide relevant nutrition knowledge and skills for those working in jobs where nutrition is important to their role, but does not require the depth of knowledge of a registered Nutritionist (RNutr or ANutr). Undertaking a Certified Course means you can be assured the content is evidence-based, but it does not provide you with a professional title.
This Basic Human Nutrition course consists of 17 self-led modules each taking 15-20 minutes to complete. A great way to access basic nutrition that is evidence based.
