Hi Mandy,
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We’re delighted to hear that the course is exactly what you were looking for and that you’re enjoying expanding your knowledge in nutrition. It’s great to know that you’re finding the content informative, research-based, and easy to follow, and that the diagrams and additional resources have been helpful along the way.
We’re also really pleased to hear that your tutor and our student support team have been able to assist you whenever needed — providing helpful and timely support is very important to us.
Thank you again for your kind recommendation, and we wish you continued enjoyment and success as you progress through the course and invest in your future health!
Online
Online, flexible, and we can study at our own pace. Pressure-free. The modules are insightful and cover a wide range of topics. The assessor or marker of assignments goes into great detail in marking and provides additional practical information. The only reason why it is not a full mark is that the institute needs to provide more one-on-one coaching (maybe you have) on supporting students in what they are doing or planning to do. As for me, I like to design ketogenic, plant-rich meal plans for people suffering from Dementia. Love to have coaching in that area. Well done, I have enjoyed this course so far.

Hi Dennis,
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback — we’re so pleased to hear you’re enjoying the course and finding both the modules and tutor feedback helpful.
We appreciate your suggestion about one-on-one coaching. As a self-paced programme, the course is designed to provide broad, comprehensive training rather than specialised mentoring, but we absolutely encourage you to continue developing your specific interests alongside your studies.
Your focus on ketogenic, plant-rich meal plans for individuals living with dementia is truly inspiring. While we don’t offer dedicated coaching in that area, pursuing specialised professional development could be a great complement to your learning with us.
Thanks again for sharing your experience, and well done on your progress so far!
Really Enjoyable Course
I'm really enjoying this course! The layout is really easy to follow and my tutor Kim is amazing - so helpful and patient . Only thing I'd tweak is the assignment template - sometimes tricky to adjust my work layout how I want it. I'd definitely recommend this course - the content's interesting and I'm learning so much about food and nutrition. I love it.

Studying through the Nutritional Institute of South Africa has been an outstanding experience. The course material is presented in a way that is dynamic, practical, and easy to stay engaged with. Each module builds confidence and delivers real-world knowledge that can actually be applied.
What truly sets this institute apart is the quality of support from the lecturers. Their insight, constructive guidance, and detailed responses add tremendous value to the learning journey. You never feel like just another student — the level of attention and encouragement is exceptional.

My Nutritionist journey so far ...
I'm loving each module and the assignments that come with it. I have learned so much with these first 5 modules and excited for what is to come next. I highly recommend this course to those interested in nutrition or who is curious to learn. The materials are easy to follow and are not overly complicated.

Highly recommend
Each topic this course covers, offers in depth knowledge that I found has been easy to apply to everyday life. It has changed the way I respond and connect with food. I didn’t want to be a nutritionist (I just wanted to study this for general knowledge) but now this course has open my mind to further studies.

And Then There Were Two... Modules to Go
I just completed Module 10 and the overall experience has been truly amazing!
The modules are intelligently structured and summarized, providing exactly the information we need. The course is designed for all age groups, making it easy to understand and follow along with the assignments. The content is well-written and concise, not overwhelming. Busy people will appreciate the manageable pace and format. The gradual progression helps build knowledge without feeling stressed. The marking is supportive, and the team and tutor are extremely helpful, kind, and responsive. They make you feel supported, not like a nuisance.
As a working student, wanting to grasp Nutrition knowledge in short amount of time, I've found this course engaging and easy to follow, with a great learning experience.
Can't wait to finish the last 2 Modules and grab my Diploma !

The content of the course is beautifully laid out.
It is visually striking as well as concise and informative.

Would like the Assignment Notepad to be a bit more stable - to receive Word Document formatting (sometimes encounter a few glitches).
A wonderful course and am feeling very inspired from what I learnt!

The course is well organized and the support is consistently available. However, I was surprised by how heavily biased it is toward a plant-based diet, with minimal emphasis on the importance of animal protein. If you’re seeking a plant-based nutrition course, this would be a good fit — but it may not be ideal for those wanting a more balanced perspective.

Thanks so much for the review! We really value the 'balanced perspective' you mentioned. Just to clarify for anyone else looking at the course: our goal is to highlight the benefits of incorporating a wide variety of plants into any diet, rather than pushing a plant-based-only agenda. We believe animal proteins play an important role in many nutritional plans, and we’ll certainly look at how we can make that integration clearer in our materials. Thanks for helping us grow!
Excellent learning experience
Good information which helps understand the importance of healthy eating habits. Understanding the nutrients synergy from vitamins, vital info on the type of food to eat to better support your guts and immune system is quite a learning experience.
A few years ago I paid for a nutritionist to provide me a day to day meal plan. It helped me to loose weight.
However taking these modules provided by NI, this experience provided me with a better understanding on what food really does to your body, and factors (smoking, stress, inflammation, illnesses) that actually can affect the nutrients consumed every day.
Pretty interesting course!
