The Centre for Integrative Sports Nutrition hosts an array of sports nutrition educational opportunities, all taught from a base of integrative thinking and applied practice in mind. You can choose a short immersion, such as our 4-week short course and specialty modules that are intended for professional development (CPD/CEU). Or you can attend our well respected practitioner-focussed certificate course or our flagship Level 7 (postgraduate equivalent) 1 to 2 year diploma course.
Our short course provides a great introduction to integrative sports nutrition, and is taught over four weeks. It is ideal for students and practitioners of nutrition and exercise, who follow the ethos that health feeds performance, and who wish to progress their knowledge of integrative sports nutrition.
Our certification course is a deeper immersion into the world of integrative sports nutrition, run part time over approximately 9 months. It is made up of the Integrative Body Systems and Applied Performance Nutrition modules, along with two specialty units of your choosing.
Our Level 7 diploma course is an industry accredited postgraduate level training, run over a 1 to 2 year period. It consists of the Integrative Body Systems and Applied Performance Nutrition modules, along with four specialty units of your choosing, a practitioner mentoring programme and a research project.
We have a growing array of specialty modules for purposes of professional development (CPD/CEU):
CISN (the Centre for Integrative Sports Nutrition) trains and mentors exercise and nutrition professionals to manage an athlete’s health and performance through an expansive way of integrative thinking.
We bridge the gap between what has historically been two very separate disciplines: conventional sports and performance nutrition, and the integrative/functional medicine and nutritional therapy approach.
At CISN we believe that if an athlete is to achieve their performance goals, they must firstly build a solid foundation of optimal health. This doesn’t just enable them to perform well in one race, one competition, or one season – but to perform well for life.
Posted on Adam Lloyd2025-03-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend the Centre for Integrative Sports Nutrition highly enough. I have completed their Certificate course and their Natural Sports Cookery course. Both of which have significantly informed my practice. Following completion of my MSc I have since completed 4 of their specialty modules, each time my current thinking is challenged and developed. I consider CISN to be my go to place for ongoing learning and development. I currently work as the nutritionist at an EFL football club in England where I oversee both 1st team and academy with over 200 football players in my care whilst also running a private consultancy, Future Athletes, specialising in youth athletes. Thank you to Ian, Simone and Rachel for all their support in informing my practice through their unique and practical approach to nutrition for sports.Posted on Paola2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have recently completed the short course in Integrative Sports Nutrition and I've truly enjoyed it! I am a registered Health Coach with a background in professional sport and for many years I was struggling to find a nutrition course specifically tailored for the sport industry. This has exceed my expecations because there is also so much attention on the person as whole, with a true holistic approach to the athlete's needs. The short course just gave me a glimpse of what looks like a very complete and unique nutritional course. Ian is probably one of the most knowledgable and passionate person I have met so far. If you are in the sport industry and want to learn how to best nourish your athlete in a natural way this is the right place to start!Posted on Caroline MacGregor2025-02-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the long course and I cannot rate it highly enough. Ian Craig is such a wonderful teacher and mentor, his passion and knowledge make this an invaluable course and an absolute must for anyone wanting to know more about sports nutrition from a holistic perspective. I will no doubt continue to study the short modules as I enjoy the learning so much!Posted on Vicky Smith2025-01-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CISN is the place for nutritional CPD at a pace that works for you. Leaving you with so much more than just an advancement in nutritional theory and application, but an appreciation for how it underpins all areas of health & performance.Posted on Kathryn Watson2024-02-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just completed the short course in Integrative Sports Nutrition with Ian. I would highly recommend, and it has really inspired me to study into this area more. I hope to do the longer course at some point. I enjoyed the structure of the short course with a combination of live Zoom sessions, including a presentation along with discussions and case study each week, plus ‘homework’ in between of both reading and short video presentations. A very manageable hour of extra study a week. Generally I thought it was pitched well, with a good balance of science and practical applications, and the pace worked well for me. Thank youPosted on Jennifer Clarke2024-02-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed the short course in integrative sports nutrition with Ian and would highly recommend it for anyone who wants an insight into the world of sports nutrition, from a holistic perspective. As a naturopathic nutritional therapist & pharmacist, I enjoyed Ian's approach and found the weekly modules both interesting and informative. Ian has a vast knowledge and experience in this area and was always open and quick to respond to questions. Overall a great taster into the world of integrative sports nutrition.Posted on Tracey Alexandrou2024-02-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great course well taught and would highly recommend if you are serious about sports nutritionPosted on Helen Brooker-Collins2023-12-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've just completed the Applied Sports Nutrition module - I loved it! It was great to hear sports nutrition contextualised from a functional perspective too - and delivered by Ian, someone who is so knowledgeable, clearly passionate about the subject and really wants the very best for us students and the profession at large. Participants come from a wide range of backgrounds too, so it was great to hear other people's perspectives on how they currently practice. Can't recommend it highly enough - now I just need to decide which module to complete next...Posted on Christine Kjeldbjerg2023-11-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Diploma in Sport Nutrition provides an excellent base for anyone wishing to work and support active individuals at all levels. Great lecturers with up to date knowledge and always willing to explore student questions.Load more
