About us

We are a committed and successful team of educators, supervisors and mentors who strive to provide the best possible conditions for you to learn.

We select our students as much for their attitude and desire to become the best they can, as for their prior academic achievements. We select our tutors and lecturers as much for their commitment to your course as for their academic qualifications.

We are, to the best of our knowledge, the only private Centre in the world in which you can obtain university-validated honours degree programmes in nutritional therapy and nutritional science and university-accredited postgraduate progression courses in nutritional therapy.

We understand that making the right choice for your education is important and for this reason our undergraduate courses are validated and postgraduate courses accredited by Middlesex University [MU]. The 2009 Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) Audit placed broad confidence in the soundness of the University’s management and quality of its programmes and the academic standards of its awards. Our professional coaching courses and ITEC nutrition courses for complementary therapists are internationally recognised.

As our undergraduate and postgraduate courses are MU-approved, we are able to take full responsibility for their delivery, ensuring that every aspect of the courses helps prepare you for your future career.

We strongly believe in the dynamic interplay of theory and practice and ensure that they are integrated from the beginning to the end of the course.

We help you leave the course with useful coaching skills by training you in the important techniques used by life coaches so that you can help your clients achieve their potential and make sustainable lifestyle changes. You will have the option to be assessed by external verifiers enabling you, if successful, to register as a coach. We know that facilitating changes in beliefs and lifestyle is fundamental to your effectiveness and therefore success in practice or in the workplace.

We have demonstrated to the Professional Standards Board that the practitioner degree courses meet the National Occupational Standards and Core Curriculum for Nutritional Therapy.

We are committed to promoting Equal Opportunities in all our dealings with students, staff and members of the public.

We provide a well-stocked, focused health science and nutrition library and provide a range of online learning resources.

We are located within one minute’s walk of Wokingham Station, a delightful old Market Town near Reading, which has many good places to eat and places to stop over. See our website for overnight accommodation, many of which have been tried and tested by our students and graduates. www.cnelm.co.uk

We provide good refectory facilities where you can eat your own packed lunch or cook a quick lunch. Many of our students use our facilities and eat together at lunchtime.
