Home / All about studying / Which Course Should You Choose?
The right choice of course depends primarily on what you want to learn and how you intend to use the knowledge you gain. A different type of study makes sense for someone who wants a comprehensive understanding of nutrition than for someone focused on sports, children, a specific health area, or professional application. Therefore, the easiest first step is to clarify what you expect from your studies and how you plan to use the knowledge you acquire.
Our courses are currently in preparation. The study system described here is the one we use in our courses. Subscribe to the NutriCourses Newsletter for new articles, practical nutrition insights, and updates when enrolment opens.
Each course differs in scope and focus, so there is no single course that is best for everyone.
Before choosing, try to answer two questions:
Your answers will help you choose the course that best matches your goals.
If you do not want to focus on just one narrow topic but would rather build a broader system of knowledge, the Nutrition Advisor course is the best fit.
It is suitable for anyone who wants to understand the basic principles of nutrition and how they relate to one another, explore different areas of nutrition, assess different needs and situations, and create a foundation for further specialization.
The course title does not mean that it is intended only for people who want to work as nutrition advisors. It is also suitable for those who want to gain more extensive knowledge for themselves or their families.
If you are not yet sure which area of nutrition you want to focus on but would like to understand nutrition in a broader context, Nutrition Advisor is a natural starting point.
In this case, the Nutrition Advisor course is a suitable foundation.
It allows you to build a broad knowledge base and then expand it with specialized courses according to your needs.
Studying for personal reasons does not automatically mean that you only need a short or basic course. What matters most is how broad a subject you want to cover.
If you want to gain a comprehensive understanding of nutrition, the Nutrition Advisor course is the most suitable option, even if you do not plan to use your knowledge professionally.
If you are mainly interested in one specific area, a specialized course may be more practical, such as Child Nutrition, Sports Nutrition, Nutrition Guide for Diabetes, or Vegetarianism and Veganism.
When choosing, the key question is therefore whether you want a broad overview or prefer to focus on a specific area of nutrition.
If you are interested in the relationship between nutrition, sports performance, recovery, and physical activity, the Sports Nutrition course is the best match.
It is designed for athletes, coaches, parents of children involved in sports, nutrition advisors, and anyone who wants to work more effectively with nutrition in connection with regular physical activity.
If you are mainly interested in children’s diets, the Nutrition for Children course is a suitable choice.
It can be useful not only for parents but also for people who work with children or want to better understand their nutritional needs at different stages of development.
If you are mainly interested in the practical connection between nutrition, food, and cooking methods, take a look at the Nutrition Chef course.
It is particularly useful if you want to apply your new knowledge to meal preparation, recipe development, working with food, gastronomy, and practical meal planning.
Its purpose is not only to explain the principles of nutrition, but also to translate them directly into practical work in the kitchen.
The University of the Third Age offers a separate educational path.
It is designed for people who want to use nutrition primarily to support health and quality of life as they get older.
The starting programme is Food as Medicine, followed by specialized topics such as Strong Bones for Life, Keeping Your Brain Fit, and (Post)Menopause in Balance.

I will never regret that I enrolled to the course of Martin Jelínek. I am still tingling when I think about the day. It was essential for me: I grew mature! I was literally drinking in every lesson and gradually started to understand, how our organism works, what we can affect and how blind we often are. It is exactly what I needed: to understand!!! It moved me forward. I am happy that I can help my friends and set menu to anybody according to his wishes and his goals. I am happy to share gained knowledge, even though my original profession is different and for now, I cannot be fully engaged in nutrition. I would like to thank for comprehensible and complex introduction to this issue. It changed my life to better.

I attended two courses: Nutrition and Supplementation Advisor (distance learning) and Journey to the Dream Figure, and I must say that both courses provided me with a wealth of information as well as practical experience. Thanks to almost daily lessons, I could learn from the theoretical materials and then apply them in the practical part – the ZOF Games, where I created specific meal plans according to the rules. Tests were conducted every month along with a final seminar paper, allowing me to verify my skills. From a technical standpoint, everything was also in order. The course is well-organized, and I always received a prompt response from the course management.

Deciding on this course is something I now look back on as a life-changing decision and a very good one. I really liked how the entire course was conducted and how comprehensive it was. Thanks to the course, I decided to continue on this path and chose to study nutritional therapy.
