Nutrition Workshop - Nutrition Counseling

In the Nutrition Workshop - Nutrition Counselling you learn the sensible, structured build-up of a nutrition consultation. The standardised approach secures the quality of your consultations, and your ability as an adviser develops steadily through regular evaluation. Specialist knowledge alone rarely leads to a change of behaviour – which is why this workshop is devoted to the conversation itself.

What you learn

• The build-up of a consultation in clear steps – from preparation through to the close
• Shaping the opening of the conversation deliberately
• Building the adviser-client relationship and keeping it sound
• Embedding diagnostics and assessment at the right point in the conversation
• Understanding and accompanying the change process of the client
• Setting the close of the conversation so that agreements hold
• Reflecting on your own counselling and learning from it systematically
• The HAPA model as an ordering framework for the change process
• Solution-focused advising: review, entry into the consultation and the attitude of the adviser

Who the workshop suits

The workshop is aimed at everyone who works with people in the fitness, health or nutrition field and notices that good recommendations often fail to land in the everyday life of their clients. It is one module of the Nutrition Coach training programme and can be taken on its own if what you are missing above all is the conduct of the conversation.

How the workshop runs

The Nutrition Workshop - Nutrition Counselling consists of guided self-study e-learning (approx. 25 – 35 hours). After registration you receive the login details for the learning platform, which guides you through the content step by step. You learn online, free of fixed times and places.

• Self-study with the course script Nutrition Counselling
• The complete script also as audio files for on the move
• Learning videos and study questions on the most important reference points of counselling
• Feedback form, followed by the knowledge test
• Knowledge test with 30 randomly selected questions in a maximum of 30 minutes, passed with more than 80 per cent correct answers, up to three attempts

For questions about the content, the training team of the update Akademie is there for you. Once you have passed the knowledge test, you receive your confirmation by e-mail within seven days.

Where things go from here

Counselling begins with cleanly recorded data – that is delivered by the Diagnostics and Assessment workshop, which this module refers to directly. Together with the remaining modules it makes up the complete Nutrition Coach training programme; what that covers is set out on the Nutrition Coach page. You will find all the individually bookable courses under Nutrition Workshops.
