I would recommend studying through Health Academy Australia – I have studied and completed my qualification in nutrition through Health Academy Australia and I am now looking forward to expanding my career in health.

I was able to do the course at… Read more ·  1

Very positive experience. I’m glad I did it! – I've just completed the Food Coaching course through Health Academy Australia and received my certificate. I'm glad I did this course and feel excited to start working as a food coach. I would like to help people to achieve their goals in healthy eating.

Outdated learning materials, no customer service if anything goes wrong – I took the course Certificate in Nutrition and found that the learning materials are very low quality. It is just a plain text with occasional videos on YouTube which are available for free. Perhaps if you're already knowledgeable in nutrition and would like just get a certificate - that would work. But if you want to become proficient in the… Read more

topic, I would not recommend the course. I constantly do professional training online and have a good understanding of what online course is in 2020. Unfortunately, this one is below any expectations. Although I do not want to offend the course creators, I understand that it is my responsibility to share this feedback with prospective students.

When I think that a working mum might be spending her nights and weekends on this type of learning materials in a hope to learn nutrition, I know I should predict her that Health Academy Australia is not the right provider to invest in.

Also, there is no customer service to help. There is an administrator who is unfortunately very limited in what she can do for the students.

I have attached how the course looks inside.

Excellent academy for online training – I have just recently successfully completed an Advanced certificate course in Nutritional Counselling; studying Nutrition I, II & III, and 3 electives of my choice being - weight loss, medical and sports nutrition. I work full time and found doing this course online and at my own pace (though ensuring to finish within the given time frame) suited… Read more ·  1

my needs perfectly. My tutors and admin at the college always provided support and prompt answers to any questions or problems that I may have faced with doing the course. The course was easy to follow and there was always amazing support - Nicole in admin is absolutely fantastic - as was my tutor Melinda - replies to you quickly and assignments and exams where passed on to the tutors and marked promptly. Thank you to everyone at the Academy. I haven't studied for many years and because I had such great support from the Academy I am now going to enrol for further courses. Thank you for helping me achieve great results and further my education and career.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking knowledge and good methods – I have just finished my Certificate in Nutritional Counselling and im so happy that I choose this school. I signed up with Health Academy after lots of researching time, but even after I did I was still very insecure if it was the best choice for me. I'm glad I did, that's why I want to share my experience here. The program was perfect for me.… Read more

It provided scientific based information formatted in a very simple and understandable way to read and absorbe. Another highlight of this course was the tutors, specially [Name Removed] and the (so) sweet admin. [Name Remvoed] was always there answering my inumerous questions and giving me extra information on my assignment. I learned a lot from her! Even I was studying from another country and in different language I felt the knowledge was very accessible at anytime. [Name Removed], I just feel like I want to cuddle her every time I read her emails. She was always there when I needed. She is really fast and efficient, showing her administrator skills very well in every email. She is awesome!

Thank you Health Academy team! It was a great journey and I have enjoyed every single moment of it!

Unprofessional, unethical provider – Myself and other students in the Diploma of Counselling were concerned with the course materials and lack of support so we banded together to write a letter with our concerns and complaints. Instead of replying to our letter privately, they threatened and blasted us online to all the students and teachers, and left it open for others to comment… Read more

on. They endangered the wellbeing and mental health of many students, as a result a handful of us have left the course, with others staying behind as they are already halfway through the course and put too much work in already. Beware. These people can not take criticism, nor can they act professionally and take accountability. None of us have received an apology. The most unethical experience I've ever been through. I'm truly still in disbelief.

Worse college I've dealt with – No compassion no contact either was enrolled but due to illness had to withdraw from course only response I got was I had to still pay. I recommend open colleges for such courses more professional more empathy and more contact made.

Excellent experience!! – Health Academy Australia offers a much better style of teaching and learning compared to the mainstream conventional universities. Studying at your own pace without official deadlines is a far less stressful way of studying/learning. I was always supplied with all the information I needed.

Highly informative and relevant – The content of the course is informative, relevant and in line with current scientific evidence on nutrition. The tutor was very supportive and encouraging all the way through and was always responsive to any queries I had. The course outline was easy to get through and the self tests were a good way of testing what I had learnt along the way.… Read more ·  1

Though the course wasn't difficult there were certainly aspects of it the stretched my knowledge and ability thus enabling me to further develop my current knowledge of nutrition and even develop my ability to source and learn information.
