You probably have some questions about the online training and the exam for the online trainer licence. On this page we describe the course of the training and would like to answer the most frequently asked questions about the intermediate exam and the final exam.

How does the training work?

You can start your training immediately after purchase or at any later time. From the first login, your access to the Online Campus is active for 6 months. If necessary, you can extend it for a fee.

Check your level of knowledge

After each module, you check your level of knowledge with a multiple-choice test. Afterwards, the next module of the training is activated.

The online intermediate examination

An online midterm exam is the best way to prepare before registering for the real final exam. You should pass with 80% correct answers and you can retake it every 24 hours.

Individual exam date

For your written and practical final examination, you arrange an individual appointment with your examiner. Depending on the training, this may be 1 or 2 days.

Attendance phase at the location of your choice

You choose which of our locations is closest to you. You can even take the exam for the nutritionist licence completely online.

Graduation - Your certificate

After passing the exam, you will hold your official certificate in your hands. It is valid for life.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take the online intermediate exam more than once if I have already passed it?

Yes, the purpose of the online intermediate exam is to ensure that you do not register for the final exam until you are fully prepared. Of course, you can retake it as often as you like, every 24 hours, to practice and prepare for the final exam.

Is the examination date freely selectable or predetermined?

There are no fixed exam dates - you arrange an individual date with your examiner.

If you still fail the exam on your fourth attempt, we will refund the cost of your training (excluding exam fees).

Is the final examination similar to the intermediate examination?

The level of the questions in the intermediate exam is based on the final exam. However, the scope of the final exam is greater, i.e. there are more multiple-choice questions to answer than in the intermediate exam. You can find more information about the exam days on the respective product pages.
