GTI course Holistic Nutrition and Health

chinacup

Might do this night course next week- very last minute decision. Just want to hear any thoughts from people on the course if you've done it or know someone who has?
What the classes, teachers, workload etc is like? Any little things to look up or do to prepare in advance?
Particular bonus if someone has some notes/book from it.

Plan to do Bcs Health & Society in DCU next year so its my reasoning is to do this as a sort of stepping stone.

Advice very much appreciated on this!

Friend of mine did it and highly recommends it! Said it was a great course.

It sounds like quackery

I wouldn't put it quite so harshly 'cos I'll guarantee that some people will be upset by that statement.

But I would suggest contacting either DCU or perhaps posting in their forum on boards to enquire about how well regarded the subject-areas in the GTI course are.

In Ireland "therapist" is not a regulated term, but "chartered" is. So a "whatever therapist" won't be operating from the same base as a "chartered whatever-ist"

I guess it comes down to what sort of job (or personal fulfillment) you would want to get following the DCU course.

Dietitian is a regulated term in this country. Nutritionist is not.

Any of the subjects in particular you'd be wary of? So if I do decide to do it ill have some wits about it.

I did the full time course last year. I was more interested in the nutritional aspect of it but found it to be mainly massage and reflexology orientated which really wasnt my cup of tea.
If thats what your looking for though you'll prob love it.
Dont know about the evening tutors but the full time tutors where great. They could be the same tutors for all I know.
