The didactic portion can be completed in as little as 90 days, after which students transition into the mock residency phase, where they work with mock clients under the guidance of our medical team. Throughout both phases, we offer optional live support sessions that you’re welcome to attend and all sessions are recorded for easy access.

The final exam will be available online and it is not proctored.

Students gain access to a lab ordering service through our partnership with Kale, ensuring full legal compliance.

Practitioners are encouraged to charge 1.5–2x their lab, fee, and review costs, creating both accessibility for clients and a sustainable business model.

Each student will move at a different pace, but the estimated time is between 5-8 hours per module (real hours, not academia hours).

Students will take quizzes, a didactic & residency exam, and complete a final thesis.Feedback is provided by course leaders, and you’ll also take part in a mock residency. This residency allows you to put your education and theory into practice with mock clients in a safe, supportive environment, giving you the confidence to apply your skills before working independently.

During the program, you’ll receive instructor feedback, have access to live support sessions via Zoom with a course instructor, and benefit from instructional videos included in each module. After graduation, students can opt to join the CN-P Alumni Circle — a dedicated space to continue networking with peers, access materials, and receive ongoing support resources.

With our program, you’ll receive one free oversight session per month during the mock residency. This oversight gives you increased support and confidence as you work with clients. If you’d like a more in-depth review, we also offer 45-minute sessions with Dr. Maggie at $389 per hour.  

You can operate as a CN-P in any state, you just will want to be mindful of your state's specific laws.
States vary in their requirements for licensure for those providing nutritional guidance. The majority of states allow CN-Ps to establish their own practice, but some states require additional licensure or working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. You can also visit the Council of Holistic Health Educators: https://holisticcouncil.org/ for up-to-date information on the laws and regulations in your state.

For grants and scholarships, we recommend sharing your request with an advanced search engine like chatGPT to streamline your search. By explaining your situation, you can connect with the appropriate contact person who can assist you further. An example of an approved scholarship/grant may be through a program like VA. Rest assured, we are ready to approve any documents that require a signature to facilitate the process for you.

Case studies will be an observational review and will likely require around 5 hours per month which is a total of 60 hours over the course of a year.
