Warm Up Program
You can start learning, as soon as you enroll. We've developed our Warm Up Program to introduce you to the various aspects of our program: the student community, curriculum, innovative support and online access to teachers, graduates and staff.
When you enroll, you'll receive your first set of materials and gain access to our Online Education Forums.
The Warm Up Classes will introduce you to fundamental nutrition concepts and introduce you to the Integrative Nutrition curriculum. You'll be guided through the materials, so you will be 100% prepared when classes begin in the fall.
Two classes are now available for you to listen and get a sample of our program.
