Qualifications you can gain
When you take a course with us you are gaining a vocational education qualification. We map many of our courses
to nutrition elements of National Training Packages to provide you
with additional benefits, examples of training packages we have used
include:
Health (HLT06), Provide Basic Dietary Advice
Care for Children (CHCN3C)
Herbal Medicine (HLTHER7A)
Fitness Industry (SRF04)
WEA Hunter also offer Cadence Health courses as electives in their
Diploma of Nutrition and Naturopathy.
Pathway to an Advanced Diploma of Nutrition or the Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy:
The Accredited Certificate of Diet and Nutriton covers elements and units of the Health Training Package:
Provide Basic Dietary Advice (HLTNUT610A - see FAQ for more on unit codes)
Unit 1; Identify Appropriate Dietary Modifications and;
Unit 2; Negotiate Dietary Change with Client
The above nationally recognised units are part of the Advanced Diploma of Nutrition. All students receive evidence of completion of this unit to use as RPL for other courses, plus the option to gain a nationally recognised VETAB Statment of Attainment from our RTO partner, the Academy of Complementary Health (WEA Hunter). Not only can you use your nutrition course for application to a Diploma in Nutrition but you can gain direct entry into the Diploma of Nutrition and receive an exemption for the first year subject, Nutrition One, at the Academy. In essence you will already have made a start on your diploma using this course.
Remember, while RTOs must 'recognise' students with relevant studies from another RTO, a unit of competency may not automatically give you an exemption. Also, not all units colleges offer are included in the the Advance Diploma of Nutritional Medicine, for example some SFR units (Sports) are really only useful if you are going to do a personal trainers course. You can check the relevant units by reading the Academy's Course Prospectus. Lastly, when you use a qualification from one college with another, unless they have an agreement, appling using RPL can be very costly. The relationship Cadence Health has with the Academy reduces these issues, makes a seamless transition and avoids many costly charges.
The Academy Programme is a three year full-time Advanced Diploma that feeds into the Bachelor of Health Science at Charles Sturt University where you are be able to specialise in a nutrition stream. The Academy programme has been fully accredited with the University. In addition you can then go on and apply for post graduate qualifications in university nutrition courses for Nutrition Society of Australia registration. The Diploma is offered by both distance and face-to-face modes. Staff at Cadence Health can make arrangements to have someone call to discuss these qualifications with you. Alternatively you may download the Academy Programme here or contact Carolyn Ward at The Academy on 02 4926 1113 or email Carolyn.
Spend your hard earned money and your time with established colleges so you get a qualilty education that assures you of a profession at the end of it.
