This course will enable you to gain the evidence-based knowledge and skills needed to become a professional Sports and Exercise Nutritionist. The course has been designed to enable you to join the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (SENR), the professional register for qualified sports and exercise nutritionists in the UK. You’ll be taught by experienced academics, including registered SENR practitioners, to ensure you enter the workplace with the skills you need to positively impact performance of whoever you are working with.
