Natural Nutrition Program

Diploma, Professional Designation and Title
CSNN is celebrating 30 years of operation! The dedicated purpose of CSNN’s teaching is to demonstrate the importance of natural nutrition in complementary health care.

Whether you are looking to start a career in the Holistic Nutrition industry or are interested in improving your own health and wellbeing, this life-changing program will help you achieve your goals.

I chose CSNN to study holistic nutrition due to the positive feedback I got from past alumni. As I was new to the natural wellness space, I wanted a community to support and uplift me. CSNN was exactly that. I found the teachers to be very informative while maintaining a more hands-on and discussion-based learning approach which I greatly appreciated. I couldn’t be happier with the practical knowledge gained from CSNN and the lifelong friendships built.

The Natural Nutrition Diploma Program prepares holistic nutrition professionals with a comprehensive curriculum that consists of 18 courses plus a clinical component consisting of live case studies. It covers natural nutrition relevant to each stage of life, the science and research behind it, as well as the fundamentals of business. An integral part of the studies is the connection between body, mind, and spirit; this program aims to enlighten in a broad way about the effects of life experiences and circumstances on health.

With Full-Time and Part-Time options, this program was designed to be flexible to accommodate busy schedules and other commitments.

Enhanced/Intensive Program offerings are also available at select CSNN branches and are eligible for student loan funding. These programs have additional supervised clinical hours for those who are serious about becoming a practitioner and/or feel they require additional support and guidance with both their studies and launching their career.

Live virtual interactive learning has been added across Canada to its existing in-classroom format and allows branches to serve communities outside their geographical area. Self-study online format is offered with the distance education branch so you can study from anywhere.
