Nutritional Certification Course
Experts estimate that a staggering 98,000 people die from preventable medical
errors each year. More Americans die each month of preventable medical
injuries than died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

FYI:
There are no papers to write, all tests are take-home, open-book, tests which we will go over in class.
There will be no grading of the tests or grades given for the class.
It is adults who are taking this course and they are taking it because they want to learn.
I trust their decision as to how much they wish to put
into its study and how much they want to get out of it....Dian
The course is given on Sundays or Thursdays and are scheduled to begin:
September 18th for the Sunday Group or
September 15th for Thursday Group
There is not a disease, pestilence, pandemic or plague to fear
because of what one will learn here
This is a prep course for those who want to take the American Association of Nutritional Consultants
(AANC) exam. One can take this exam to obtain a CNC (Certified Nutritional Counselor) without taking this course.
Six to seven years ago nutritionists and holistic healers who had obtained this and various
certifications elsewhere continually asked me to teach this course because the education they had received
or the exams they had taken had not really prepared them to be hands-on nutritionists/holistic healers.
For those who just want to be supplement salesmen, or purveyors of predetermined
one-size-fits-all diet programs, any certification or designation is adequate.
But, for those who are interested learning how to deal with and treat each individual,
be they family or client,
as a unique person with unique needs, this course is the one for you.
To be truly trained in a field, it is important to be taught in-person by someone who has had years of
experience in the field. Books do not teach, they inform, giant classes or web courses do not
provide personalized feed-back, are not personalized for the student and do not teach personalized treatments.
Realizing this, I eventually agreed to teach this course. And, it has been very rewarding to do so.
I hope you can join us.

Course Description and Pricing
For those who have expressed an interest in taking my nutritional course as preparation for the national certification exam given by the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, AANC:
I have put together a letter of the course's content and intent. Let me know if there is anything you need clarified. The next session begins on April 17th for the Sunday group and April 14th for the Thursday group.
Economists have determined that the natural health field is the fastest growing industry in the U. S. today. They project that this trend will continue for the next 10 years. I personally can attest to this truth as my practice continues to grow year after year. Please read my magazine article, What is a Nutritionist?, for a overview of how I view, practice and teach nutrition.
I have chosen to recommend and teach a course in preparation for taking the exam for a Certified Nutritional Counselor (CNC) designation because I have found that the 'CNC' is the most recognizable nutritional designation today. There are so many initials used in this field that it is understandably confusing to people seeking nutritional guidance. Having initials that are recognizable helps in building a nutritional business for those who wish to do so and gives creditability to all those who have it.
Most people interested in nutrition are familiar with Phyllis Balch's book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, (in fact it is one of our required textbooks for this course) as it is the reference book most commonly used in health food stores. The only initials after Phyllis Balch's name are the `CNC' awarded by the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, which is the certification this course prepares one for.
This may be why it the most recognizable designation and is why I recommend those people who are interested in practicing nutrition to start with this one. In fact, many who have taken the exam and received the CNC without taking my course rarely feel ready or qualified to start a nutritional practice unless they have previous training or other certifications. That is why my earlier students convinced me to teach this course. Today, most practicing nutritionists study and acquire many nutritional certifications from different disciplines in the field. In my opinion the CNC is the best designation to attain when beginning in the natural health field.
The course fee is $1750 which includes a $50 deposit. There are limited seats available for new students. Two seats are reserved for former students who may wish to repeat or make-up a previously missed class. After the deposit has been paid, arrangements can be made to pay for the remainder of the course in six payments of $290 due at the beginning of each of the first month of class for those who do not wish to pay in a lump sum. We do accept credit cards. However, this is not a pay as you go class but a full 6-month course. There are people who get shut out of these classes due to lack of space.
The AANC exam will cost about $250 payable to the American Association of Nutritional Consultants. One can take the AANC exam without taking this prep course. This course is offered for clarification of the material and for more in depth information about the field. Former students are mentored for as long as they feel the need. Each month I will be offering continuing Ed classes that meet the AANC's yearly requirement for maintaining the CNC designation. These classes and workshops are open to the public but discounted in price for CNC students and practitioners.
In addition, there are 12 books for each student to buy that will be covered in the 12 classes of this course. These books can bought at Dian's or online. The twelve books come to around $200, if all are bought. Not all the books need to be bought if economy is a question. There are some books that are good to have for reference in the future but others may never be of use again. If all of the books are not purchased, there will be a few extras available to borrow for use in taking the exam. Each class meets twice a month for six months and will be cover one book that is required to take the AANC exam. A larger portion of the class will cover additional information that gives a more balanced and practical look at natural health and nutrition.
This course will tie all the differing nutritional loose ends together thereby helping make heads or tails of the contradictions found in books on natural health and their slants on nutrition. It will also cover Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing), supplement and food protocols, how to conduct a consultation and run a business, conditions that cause health problems and eight of my most popular lectures on body systems and health conditions that can be taken and used by students to build their own practice.
The Sunday classes will be held from noon to 5:00 pm and Thursday's classes will be held from 11am to 4pm. Snacks will be sitting out all day and students are welcome to bring their own snacks or some for the class. Rescheduling a class is possible if all the people attending the class are ok with the date changes requested. We are very informal about time and scheduling.
Many former students are now practicing nutritionists. Others have taken this course just to have the information for themselves and their families and thus, do not take it to become nutritionists. Many professionals have taken the course to expand their existing practices. These include psychotherapists, chiropractors, nurses, dental hygienists, massage therapists, physical trainers, yoga instructors, etc.
This course's intent is to empower people to achieve self-knowledge and self-sufficiency. Although New Jersey does not recognize or certify nutritionists this is a prep course for a national certification for use in each state. Students will learn to consult, advise, lecture and teach others to prevent disease through lifestyle changes, effective supplementation and better food choices. There will also be evening meetings for former students with updates, speakers, intro to new products, business building and info sharing.
I teach both holistic health classes and this nutritional certification course in order to develop qualified people to share natural health knowledge in order to help as many people as possible and to keep this information alive for our posterity.
Each student will also receive a free private consultation with me (a $350 value) and will be considered my client as well as student.
Please let me know if you have any farther questions and if I can help in any way.
The course is very informative and a lot of fun and we hope you can join us.....Dian
