Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any prerequisites or qualification requirements?
No. You do not need any previous qualifications, nutrition degree, or professional experience to join our certifications.
Our certifications are designed to take you from foundational concepts through to advanced, evidence-based practice at your own pace. Whether you're completely new to nutrition or already working in health, fitness, coaching, or another profession, you'll start with the fundamentals before progressing to more advanced topics.
Can I study at my own pace?
Yes. Every THSA certification is designed to fit around your life, not the other way around.
There are no fixed class times, assignment deadlines, or cohort schedules. You can begin whenever you're ready, study at your own pace, and take breaks whenever you need to. Whether you complete your certification in a few weeks or spread your learning over several months, you'll have the flexibility to learn in a way that works for you.
Do I have lifetime access to my certification?
Yes. Your enrollment is a one-time investment in your professional development.
Once you enroll, you'll receive lifetime access to your certification, including future updates to the course materials at no additional cost. Whether you want to revisit a module before working with a client, refresh your knowledge years later, or explore newly added content, your learning will always be available when you need it.
Can I obtain professional insurance after completing a THSA certification?
Many graduates are eligible to apply for professional insurance after successfully completing a THSA certification.
THSA certifications are recognised by the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT), allowing eligible graduates to apply for professional insurance in more than 38 countries. Depending on your profession and location, you may also be able to obtain cover through other insurance providers.
As insurance requirements vary by country and profession, we recommend checking with your preferred insurer to confirm eligibility based on your individual circumstances.
Can I get printed course materials?
