Nutrition and Hydration Certification

Nutrition and Hydration Certification

Nutrition is the process of taking in nutrients from food, relevant to our various dietary needs. Our bodies need certain nutrients for continued growth, cell repair and other metabolic processes throughout life, and we thus need to be extremely aware of what to include in our diets.

To be able to make informed decisions regarding our nutritional needs, it's important to understand the basic principles behind nutrition, in which water and hydration also play a role. Various guides and tools may be used to help ensure we get the nutritional balance and support needed, including the Eatwell Guide and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), both of which will be discussed in this course.

You Will Learn:

  • About the different types of nutrients our body needs and the various categories these nutrients can be broken down into.
  • What the benefits of water and staying hydrated are.
  • How the Eatwell Guide can help ensure you maintain a balanced diet.
  • How malnutrition is defined and the role the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool plays in identifying malnutrition.

Benefits of Taking This Course:

  • You will be able to identify the nutrients needed to maintain a healthy body.
  • You will better understand what different foods are made of and which category of nutrient they fall under.
  • Your knowledge will allow you to identify the signs of malnutrition and dehydration and equip you with preventative steps.
  • Your knowledge will improve your awareness of healthy eating and allow you to make more informed choices with regards to a balanced diet.

The course is broken down into 5 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

The pass mark for the test is 70%.

If you don’t pass the test first time you will get further opportunities to take the test again after extra study. There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test. All test retakes are included within the price of the course.

New Skills Academy is a fab place to go to if you’re wanting to start a course and further your career. Being a mother to 2 young children it is hard to find the time to complete a course and juggle life… thank goodness for New Skills Academy.

They put no pressure on you to finish your course by a certain time. They allow you to take your time and really understand what you’re learning. It’s easy to use, there is help when needed, a very modern design making it great for anyone to use. Fab place to learn.

Excellent course.

I enjoyed doing this course and I highly recommend it to everybody. Thank you very much. Very helpful online teachers there 24/7 would do another course in a blink of an eye, easy set up and very helpful, now on my way to my career. Happy me.

Diana Dixon

his is a really great course, its content is really useful.

It’s great value for money and it’s not at all stressful. It’s so easy to understand, yet it covers complex aspects regarding safe practices. It let’s you stop and start the course, which means I can still work in a full time job, which won’t effect me financially.

This has been the best decision to complete this course. I’m really keen to learn more skills, and maybe do a few more courses to expand my skills set. I will most definitely be using New Skills Academy to help me!

I have just completed the ADHD Diploma.

I found the course extremely interesting and informative, especially for parents with children who have ADHD or people who work with children with the condition. It has changed my perspective on the condition a lot. I have therefore recommended this course to others.

The course was very well structured and easy to navigate. The wording used was simple to understand yet effective. The test was multiple choice which I liked and you are able to access your certificate straight after successful completion of the test which I thought was great.

I will definitely be purchasing another course from New Skills Academy.

Melissa Birch

Great course worth the money very detailed yet easy to understand and all official with a certificate at the end it's very interesting and fun

Cherish King

Great support from tutors and IT staff! Emails are always answered quickly, even on late nights and early mornings. Good clear lay out across the website, very easy to navigate and keep track of modules completed.

Would highly recommend to anyone looking to gain more knowledge in their own time and develop in the area. I completed this course on my commute to and from work. I also received a student card with this course that was great to benefit discounts from.

I am already thinking about what other courses I can start with New Skills Academy as soon as possible!
