Testimonials

I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Dr Jill Meyer

As a medical professional, already working full-time, I needed a nutrition programme that would suit my desire for a programme offering both thorough academic content and also acknowledging and encompassing holistic practices. I also required somewhere that provided flexible learning options since my study hours would be irregular. I undertook their training to become a clinical nutritionist. I was able to receive generous recognition of my prior learning, which made study much more do-able. I found the content, delivery and assessments interesting and relevant. Cliff and Ashley were both incredibly supportive, and very generous with their time. I am now qualified and registered with the Clinical Nutrition Association of NZ. I feel well-prepared and confident to counsel my clients towards achieving their best health outcomes. I know that Cliff is always just “a click away” should I have any queries. HPI has a wonderful group of alumni who are very supportive of one another. Cliff continues to push the boundaries with new research collaborations, keeping the institute at the cutting edge of modern nutritional practice. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Modules are interesting, professional help available, very personal and helpful!
