Avoid NHC at All Costs - a nightmare of an experience

Avoid NHC at All Costs - A Nightmare of an Experience If you re considering enrolling at the NHC think again My experience with this so-called educational institution has been nothing short of a nightmare I strongly urge anyone considering this college to look elsewhere From the start my experience with the NHC has been marred by unprofessionalism incompetence and blatant disregard for student welfare The college seems more interested in taking your money than in providing a quality education or supporting their students Dealing with principal The principal a key figure at the NHC has been particularly difficult to deal with Her communication has been dismissive condescending and at times outright hostile At one point during the course she even stated I cannot see how I am going to pass you long before the course was complete This statement clearly demonstrated a prejudice that negatively impacted my education and created a hostile learning environment Her lack of professionalism and apparent bias raises serious concerns about the integrity of the grading process at NHC Other actions included wrongful termination without stating cause or highlighting any appeals process making discriminatory comments about health issues I was facing The principal also demonstrated blatant disregard for policies and procedures instead repeatedly saying that she would do what pleases her Infact in any of the adverse actions the principal took against me she did not refer to any policies and procedures at the NHC What is worse when I filed a complaint against her it was HER that responded to the complaint You cannot imagine more that can go wrong at an educational institution NNA and GNC - A Failed Support System When I sought help from the NNA and the GNC bodies that accredit the NHC I was met with more frustration These organizations which are supposed to uphold standards and provide oversight seemed to just protect the NHC Despite the significant issues I raised including potential breaches of the National Occupational Standards NOS both organizations did little more than protect the NHC The NNA which removed my membership without due process and the GNC which refused to provide transparency regarding accreditation guidelines have shown themselves to be utterly ineffective in supporting students It s also worth noting that the principal openly admitted that the NNA and GNC are run by volunteers who give up their time to promote Naturopathy not deal with disgruntled students This statement alone should be a huge red flag for anyone considering a program associated with these organizations It highlights their inability to handle serious complaints and their lack of accountability making me question the legitimacy of their oversight Retaliation and Lack of Accountability What s even more troubling is the apparent retaliation I faced after raising legitimate concerns Instead of addressing the issues the NHC in collaboration with the NNA seemed more intent on silencing me by witholding my certificate and discrediting my complaints This behavior is not only unethical but also potentially illegal Final Thoughts The NHC is a deeply flawed institution that prioritizes its own interests over the educational and professional development of its students The lack of transparency professionalism and accountability combined with a toxic culture of retaliation makes this a place to avoid at all costs If you value your time money and mental well-being do yourself a favor and steer clear of the NHC There are far better educational institutions out there that will treat you with the respect and fairness you deserve

Look no further if you want a proper education

I am close to graduate from NHC It has been a fantastic journey I have learnt a lot - It took me over 3 years to complete both Nutritional advisor level and Nutritional Therapist and I do not regret a single day and a single penny I have invested in my education with NHC You get proper good and solid education and dedicated tutors who always give you lots of support constructive feedbacks and they care This is not a random online course you attend tutorials and clinical practice where you work with volunteers under your tutor s supervision on a regular basis - which is extremely important because it prepares you for a real life and future as a Nutritional Therapist Also just to add yes there are additional fees you will need to pay but altogether it is still so much more affordable than other similar providers Besides you are clearly informed before you sign anything and pay anything by the college about all the costs and fees involved - nothing is hidden from you Having to join NNA is only an advantage because you are automatically a member of GNC and you can get a membership with CNCH through NNA Extra benefit is discount with nutritional resource directory once you graduate I did other courses before I joined NHC so I have got some perspective if you are looking for a quick no hassle and easy certificate do not want anyone to give you constructive and fair feedbacks do all on-line with no supervision and no real practice do a random multiple choice test then NHC is not a place for you

Excellent Educational Course

I decided to study with the Natural Healthcare College as I needed a college that was affordable others seemed much more expensive and one where I could manage the study around my work and kids I also liked the fact that I did not have to sign up for 3 years As I was considering a career change but wasn t completely sure the Stage 1 Nutritional Advisor course gave me the opportunity to get a qualification and see if nutrition was something for me without the 3 year commitment Plus the added bonus of a qualification from the first stage While used to studying the course was challenging have a degree in international commerce and accountancy qualifications but still found it really informative and enjoyed the learning so much so that I have started Stage 2 The costs were fully explained by email and a call informing me how they keep the costs as low as possible with any additional costs for help over and above to be payable Thankfully with the detailed notes and tutor calls I didn t need any extra help I have loved attending the Clinical Practice days which are truly inspiring seeing how people with so many health conditions affecting their lives can be helped My advice would be to call the college and have a chat and then make up your mind The college principal is really passionate and inspiring Even if you only complete Stage 1 you will have a wealth of information for your own health

I m at clinical practice stage atm and

I m at clinical practice stage atm and I m really enjoying this course I think it s reasonably priced flexible gives lots up-to-date science-based info and has very helpful tutors especially principle Caroline that is literally mothering me I have had a couple of personal issues and was given a lot of flexibility in many aspects Even if its a remote learning I ve never felt like I couldn t reach and get more help Yes if you want a proper personal tutorial you have to pay but whatever questions I had I ve got answers for free even for my personal and family health issues Caroline was always there spending her time trying to help You have to pay only for extra clinical practice workshops the man ones at clinical practice stage are included I had to resubmit a couple of assignments and yes I had to pay for tutors spending extra time on them It s a small college and the price is already good they need to make sure our work is up to standards as they have go through accreditation every few years I ve never felt I was downgraded on purpose and was always given lots and lots of detailed feedback and advice The course is not easy and requires quite a lot of time effort and self organisation I have learnt a lot and very happy with my choice

If you are looking for a small college that cares

If you are looking for a small college whose focus is on people and really helping you as a student get through to being a confident and competent nutritional therapist then I would highly recommend the Natural Healthcare College This was the only college where I could afford the fees but that doesn t impact on the quality or standard of teaching The course is self led so you need to be motivated but the real benefit for me was that I could work through the corse content around work and family commitments If you re not sure whether to commit just do the nutrition advisor course for the first year and then you can decide once that is complete The final year is 100 focused on clinical practice getting us ready for the real world It is thorough comprehensive and leaves me feeling confident and ready to go I can t thank Caroline and all the other tutors enough for where they have brought me over the past 3 years I can t believe how much I have learnt

Well structured courses great tutors

This college offers exactely what I was looking for and it is accredited The courses are comprehensive very well structured and the tutor take the time to thoroughly accompany students in their journey I feel well prepared now for setting up my practice

highly recommended

This is a small college where you feel very well supported in your clinical practice to ensure you are prepared for work after the course The course material is thorough and the tutors are always open to discussing cases together Highly recommend

A Nutritional Advisor course with flexibility and great results

I am just in the final stages of my Nutritional Advisor diploma I started it a couple of years ago but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to leave the course I looked at many courses before I decided to go with this one and for me this was the most flexible value for money yet there is no question that the standard of education is high I have dealt with the Principal on a number of occasions and have found her to be extremely fair minded empathetic but strict when it comes to the marking of the assignments and the standard required - this is only to be expected from a fully accredited course I was allowed to rejoin and have been supported all the way through This college genuinely cares about its students and wants them to be the best they can be There is a genuine pride in their work and this is what sets them aside in my opinion from the bigger and perhaps more well known colleges Sitting in on a Clinical Practice Day was amazing How a volunteer comes with a whole host of issues and diagnosed diseases and goes away uplifted and with a plan to help having fully understood the potential root causes of the issues This is what I want to do and I am looking forward to starting Stage 2 in due course My advice to anyone considering joining is to call and have a chat with them and you will quickly decide if its right for you

Excellent course

Excellent course clear instructions encouragement and guidance from Tutors Learning takes place through a variety of ways - which I found helpful to take in the knowledge and advice I m thrilled to have passed Stage One and I can also see how much more I need to learn - so my path is now confirmed
