Questions and answers
What training as a nutrition coach do I need for EMR recognition?
If you wish to have your services covered by supplementary health insurance, you will need either a corresponding federally recognized training (bachelor's degree in nutrition and dietetics to become a nutritionist BSc) or continuing education, further training as a nutrition coach that complies with ASCA or EMR guidelines. For EMR recognition, 150 hours of training in nutritional counseling (method no. 68) and 600 hours of conventional medical training are required. If you would like to register as a nutrition coach with method number 218 - Dietetics (NHP) according to TEN, this is only possible in combination with method group no. 131, Naturopathic Practices NHP (naturopath). For TCM nutritional counseling according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, 300 hours of training must be completed, whereby training in method group no. 185 TCM must already have been completed. Ayurveda nutritional advice (method 24) can be supplemented with 150 hours of specialist training with method group no. 22 (Ayurveda).
Is it possible to continue working full-time during continuing education, further training as a nutrition coach?
Schools offer a wide variety of courses to become a nutrition coach, most of which are offered on a part-time basis. One exception is the Bachelor's degree course in Nutritional Counseling BSc, which can only be completed full-time. At some schools, however, it is possible to continue working full-time during the nutrition coaching course, but in this case the duration of the course is often up to three years or more. If you would like to complete the nutrition coaching course in a shorter period of time, a reduced workload is preferable, as a few hours of self-study per week are required in addition to the classroom teaching. However, it is best to discuss this point with the relevant nutrition coaching schools and get individual advice.
