Read MoreI am super impressed and happy with the content provided by NWFA academy. I found all of modules and lectures very informative whilst being easy to digest. Due to having ADHD I usually find online courses difficult to get through. This one I highly recommend to everyone. The nutrition course really covers all bases of information that you need to know to provide nutritional advice to including, eating disorders, diabetes, IBS, celiac, sports nutrition, female specific nutrition, which are all topics I’ve encountered with my clientele over my 5 years of PT. I specifically enjoyed the hormonal nutritional information provided to help program nutrition and training effectively for females as that is a large percentage of my client base. Loved the diversity and the delivery of this course. Thanks guys !

Read MoreThis year I decided to finally do something that I had always been too scared to do and enrolled in the Complete Undergrad Package with Women's Fitness Academy. This was one of the best decisions I've made and I've loved every moment of it. The course content is exceptional and incredibly in depth. I have so much more knowledge that I can use to help women in their own health and fitness journeys. I loved deepening my understanding on female physiology, as well as nutrition, which is something I'm super passionate about. Women's Fitness Academy genuinely cares about the success of their students and it really shows. To anyone who is considering studying any of the courses WFA offer, I would say absolutely do it, you won't regret it!

Read MoreThe course has a good balance and mix between theory and videos that are easy to follow along with and properly obtain information. the course is broken down into manageable topics to help keep you on track. The NWFA team are all super supportive and have a wide range of qualified educated individuals sharing their knowledge with you to help you get the best out of your course and set you up for success upon completion. Thank you NWFA for your support this is the second qualification I’ve completed with you and if you ever bring out any more I’ll definitely be jumping on board again. It’s been an amazing journey with NWFA so far!

Read MoreThe Women's Fitness Academy are leaders in the health, fitness and wellbeing education space, breaking away from norms and taking learning to a deeper level. Every lecture is jam packed filled with up to date, thought provoking information, and is beautifully tailored and paced for self study, with industry leading professionals sharing their knowledge. It is so rare to find education that focuses on women's health, but I have learned so much from the Specialist Nutrition Advisor course, and am so excited to be able to take that learning into the real world and empower other women to change their lives for the better. I feel that this course in particular has given me the skills and understanding needed to set myself apart in a constantly expanding and highly competitive industry, and I am so thankful I made the choice to invest in my own learning.

Read MoreThe course has been very educational and informative . The presenters were very professional and engaging with their lectures (the slides had some spelling errors in them which detracted from the professionalism of the course so they need to be edited more carefully) . I am definitely going to revisit the lectures because there was so much information and it is always good to have things repeated to embed the learning. One of the things I kept noticing which was very relevant to society today , is that the course focused on that we have to be very aware that each of our clients is an individual and the way we advise and support them is going to really impact the outcomes for each client. The advice to listen, show compassion and empathise with the client is just as important as the nutritional advice. What I really love about this course is that I can go back and listen again to the lectures . From a business perspective, the templates provided about disclaimers and contracts are invaluable. I would highly recommend this course.

Read MoreI absolutely loved this course! The platform was really easy to use and straightforward. I've followed nearly all of the lectures on social media because they are clearly top level and know their fields. This course has provided me with a great database of information but also a network of fitness professionals I know that I can count on for reliable information and to refer to if I need to. As someone who actively seeks out 3 hour podcasts on health and fitness for fun, I was really happy to have so much new information and also to read some of the studies that are important in the nutrition and coaching space. I have already recommended this course to several friends and will continue to.

Read MoreThe Certified Nutritionist course was incredibly informative. I gained so much knowledge throughout the course regarding not only general nutrition information but nutrition specific to the menstrual cycle, menopause, PCOS, endometriosis, gut health, pre & post-natal, busy corporates, athletes, and so many more. The course has multiple different learning styles from lectures to reading material, quizzes and assessments, that its a great opportunity to grow as a coach. I am super passionate about health and nutrition and this course has been the perfect way to gain further education in these topics.
