Our Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Nutrition and Health is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions about your diet and to support others in achieving optimal health. The six mandatory units of this certification cover a wide range of topics, from the principles of healthy eating to the principles of food safety for the home environment.

Unit 2, Considering the Nutritional Needs of a Variety of Individuals, builds on this foundation by exploring the specific nutritional needs of different individuals.
Unit 3, Using Food and Nutrition Information to Plan a Healthy Diet, takes a practical approach by teaching you how to use food and nutrition information to plan and prepare healthy meals. Unit 5, Understanding Eating Disorders, is an essential component of this certification, as it explores a serious and growing public health concern. Unit 6, Principles of Food Safety for the Home Environment, is an important aspect of promoting healthy living. This unit covers the principles of food safety in the home environment, including how to handle, store, and prepare food safely. Before starting the course, you must complete a pre-assessment.
