The modules are all at a really high standard with well researched studies and using the functional medicine model. I can't rate them enough and always recommend anyone interested in nutritional therapy to go here for their training."

"I was a fully registered and practicing nutritional therapist for six years before deciding to pursue a master’s in personalised nutrition at CNELM. As a clinician, my goal was to gain a deeper understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying poor health while also enhancing my research skills and methodologies. The quality of the lecturers and the level of support provided to students were exceptional—I felt truly heard and supported throughout my journey. With the encouragement of the research team, I even had the opportunity to publish my research project, something I had never imagined possible. I highly recommend the CNELM master’s degree course!"

The academic side is excellent, the practice diploma side also prepares you for running your own clinic. I also cannot thank Dr Michelle Barrow enough in supporting me during me dissertation and also helping me getting that published in a respectable medical journal which has opened many doors for me professionally."
