Food Coaching VRE110
Food coaching is an emerging profession. It combines coaching skills with knowledge of nutrition to help clients choose better ways of eating and diets which are healthier for them.  Coaching is concerned with helping clients to define their goals, and then work out ways to achieve them.  Coaches encourage clients to look at their lifestyle and how it might influence their diets and goals.  While dieticians may be experts at telling people what to eat, food coaches are experts at motivating people and helping them to develop better strategies to improve their eating habits

Qualification - Foundation Diploma in Wellness Coaching VPS037
A Foundation in Wellness Can underpin a multitude of career opportunities - even opportunities not even conceived yet. This course can be a very real investment in future employment security. We all hear media buzz about how fast the world is changing and how most future jobs have not even been conceived. That is true, but it's also true that humans will always be concerned about their well-being. People will always have a need for services to reduce the risk of health and well-being  problems and other services to respond appropriately to those problems when they arise. ·One part of this course gives you a fundamental understanding of the human physical and psychological condition, and develops your awareness of and capacity to respond to needs as they evolve and emerge in the future. ·The other part of the course develops your capacity to assist and advise people to maintain or improve a better level of wellness in their lives. The exact job opportunities of the future are uncertain. We can't be sure if fitness instructors or life coaches will be good career paths, or if the world will change. We can be fairly sure, though, that there will be strong employment opportunities for people with an understanding of wellness, and the empathy and communication skills to help others in need.
