Do you dream of working as a nutritional therapist in your own practice?

There are many exciting educational opportunities in the field of nutrition. If your professional goal is to open and run your own independent nutritional counseling and therapy practice, then EMR-recognized training as a nutritional therapist is certainly the most optimal educational option. In the case of a registry, the training leads to health insurance approval. This in turn enables you to reach a larger target group.

During your training, you will acquire comprehensive knowledge in the medical field. You will be familiar with the individual dietary measures for various illnesses and will therefore be able to advise sick people as well as healthy people. If a client is interested in a food supplement or vital substance therapy, you will be able to give them competent advice. You can also offer your clients body fat measurements and give professional lectures on various nutritional topics on request. As a nutritional therapist, you can successfully and independently offer professional nutritional advice to those seeking advice and know how to successfully open and run a nutritional practice.

Are you interested? Would you like to know more about this two-year in-service training course to become a nutritional therapist? On Ausbildung-Weiterbildung.ch you will find information directly from the individual schools in the health sector. On request, documents can be sent to you directly by e-mail or post free of charge and without obligation.

Questions and answers

The cost of training to become a nutritional therapist varies greatly depending on the school and the scope of the course. For example, training to become a qualified nutritionist SPA costs CHF 5,600, training to become a qualified nutrition therapist SPA costs CHF 22,800, training in nutritional-psychological counselling IKP costs around CHF 25,000 and continuing education, further training in individualized nutrition therapy costs around CHF 8,000.

No previous knowledge is required to train as a nutritional therapist. You will learn everything you need to know for your future work in nutritional counseling during the course.

Certificate courses and diploma courses in nutritional therapy are not federally recognized. The situation is different for the Bachelor's degree course in Nutritionist BSc, the subsequent Master's degree course "Master of Science in Life Sciences with specialization in Food, Nutrition and Health" and MAS (Master of Advanced Studies) continuing education courses. It is also possible to take the Advanced Federal Professional Examination (AFPE) in Psychosocial Counseling with a federal diploma following the Nutritional-Psychological Counseling course.

The duration of training to become a nutritional therapist can vary greatly depending on the school and also depends on the intensity of the course. For a training course with 150 hours (EMR registration), you can expect a training period of just over one year, for more extensive courses one and a half to four years, depending on the training hours and attendance times. Current course dates and information on the scope and structure of continuing education, further training in nutrition therapy can be obtained directly from the schools via our contact form.
