Important Note:
AfN Certification is awarded to the course content and not to the individual completing these.
The level refers to the level of the position held by those the course is targeted at, it is not a qualification level awarded to the course.
Certification is awarded to courses that meet the competency requirements for their specified sector/level as a quality mark to enable students/employers to identify reputable, evidence-based courses.
On completion of an AfN Certified Course students will be able to offer support in line with official recommended advice to those who are generally healthy in order to help them make healthy food and lifestyle choices. Students should however be aware of their limits and that completion of an AfN Certified Course does not make them an AfN/UKVRN certified nutritionist/nutrition assistant/diet advisor/nutrition coach etc. nor eligible for UKVRN registration as either a Registered Associate Nutritionist or Registered Nutritionist.

Please note: Completion of an AfN Certified Course does not result in an individual being eligible to enter onto a nutrition science degree – please see each universities entry requirements for what A-Levels (or equivalent) are required.
