Will I be able to practise as a nutritionist in my country?

Upon successfully passing your final exams, you will be able to use the title MNU Certified Nutritionist & be eligible to apply for our bespoke insurance policy to practise as such.
 
Our policies allow you to work in-person and online with clients globally, and you can visit our approved countries for insurance page to find out which countries are currently covered.

In countries such as Australia, Ireland & the UK the title ‘Nutritionist’ is not protected. However, in some countries such as South Africa & some states such as Quebec (CAN) & Texas (USA), it is protected, which may limit your use of the MNU Certified Nutritionist title.

You may be able to refer to yourself as a ‘Nutrition Coach’ or ‘Nutrition Consultant’ instead, which are often used interchangeably with ‘Nutritionist.’

To find out whether this applies to you, we recommend consulting your government website for further information.

For example, if you reside in the USA, please read the state regulation of nutrition practice.
