What Makes Nutrition Therapy Institute Different from Other Nutrition Schools?
1. Deep, Science-Based Curriculum
At NTI, our courses dive into the science of nutrition like no other.
You’ll build a strong foundation that prepares you for more advanced learning and helps you understand the why behind everything you do.
This depth means our program takes longer to complete, but it ensures you’ll graduate with unparalleled expertise and confidence.
2. Personal Connection
We believe relationships matter.
At NTI, you’re never just a number – we know every student by name.
From unlimited advising appointments to direct access to your instructors, you’ll have personalized support every step of the way.
3. Exceptional BCHN Exam Pass Rates
Our graduates consistently achieve some of the highest pass rates on the Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition (BCHN) exam.
While taking the exam is optional, this achievement reflects the strength of our curriculum and the preparation we provide.
4. Cutting-Edge, Continuously Updated Curriculum
Nutrition science evolves quickly, and we make it a priority to stay ahead.
Our materials are regularly updated, ensuring you’re learning the latest in holistic nutritional therapy.
5. Unmatched Flexibility
We understand life is busy, which is why NTI’s scheduling is designed with flexibility in mind:
- Choose to participate in a group learning environment during scheduled academic terms; or start whenever you’re ready with no set start dates.
- Study at your own pace (most students graduate in 1-3 years).
- Take breaks if needed – there’s no required deadline to finish the program.
6. Pay-As-You-Go
There’s no big upfront payment required here.
At NTI, you only pay for the courses you’re enrolled in, with payment plans available for each course.
This way, you can manage your education in a way that works best for you.
7. Credible, Experienced Instructors
Our instructors are real practitioners from a variety of holistic health backgrounds.
You’ll learn from Naturopathic Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, Acupuncturists, and others who bring their real-world experience to the classroom.
8. Community and Support
As an NTI student, you’ll gain access to our closed Facebook group, where you can:
- Connect with other students and graduates.
- Ask questions about complex clients or products.
- Join study groups and share ideas.
You’ll never feel alone during your time as a student.
9. No Expiration on Your Certification
Unlike other programs, NTI does not require Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to maintain your certification.
While we encourage lifelong learning, your Nutrition Therapist Master Certification will never expire.
10. Higher-Level Education
Many of our students come to NTI after graduating from health coaching or other nutrition programs because they were seeking a deeper, more comprehensive education.
At NTI, you’ll get the in-depth training that empowers you to make a real impact in the field of nutritional therapy.
