Moral Benefits
Wouldn’t you love to know that you are helping to shape the younger generation and teaching them how to be healthy? With the rate of childhood obesity rising in the UK, child nutrition is more important than ever. It will also help in many other ways; the cost of spending money on childhood weight-related health problems would be drastically reduced.
Career Options
Contrast to what the name suggests, there are more career options other than simply a Child Nutritionist. The skills and knowledge within this course can be branched out into other careers, such as:
- Teachers

The knowledge of child nutrition can be applied to many fields and boost your CV regardless of the industry.
