The Level 2 programme in the Fundamentals of Nutrition is a qualification covering the principles of healthy eating and menu planning. It has been developed to meet the increasing needs of a wide range of individuals wishing to acquire fundamental knowledge and skills in nutrition, so that they are in a position to influence and advise.

The programme provides participants with the opportunity to work through the syllabus in engaging and participative exercises bringing the reality of everyday eating into the context of a nutritonally balanced diet. We bring you the opportunity to learn within a multi-disciplinary group, exploring and examining basic theory in relation to the concepts, influences and determinants of healthy eating.

This full day course reviews the principles of nutrition providing the knowledge, understanding and practical aspects of the key role of nutrition in the prevention of disease and promotion of health.

1. Review the composition of a balanced diet

2. Outline the nutrient content of different foods and diets, including understanding food labelling

3. Describe how various processes affect food quality

4. State the contribution to ill health of nutrient deficiency and excess
