"I graduated from the diploma and can honestly say it was the best learning experience I’ve ever engaged in. I’ve spent the last 18 months since graduation focussing on business and I’m delighted to say - it’s taken off! Great confidence gained from the programme which has allowed me to excel in my space."

🇬🇧 Charles Ashford

DipIOPN, MSc, SENR

Nutritionist at Dallas Mavericks

"I also did a master’s degree a few years later but I actually found the diploma more valuable than I found my master’s degree, because I felt like I already had that level of knowledge from the diploma by the time I went into the master’s. I also didn’t get access to the same world leading experts in their area. There are only a handful of courses in the world that offer that and the IOPN is one of them."

"Like anyone who graduated from the IOPN would say, it was the most relevant, practical and engaging coursework I've ever been a part of. Fast forward to 5 years of exercise science and performance nutrition studies, topped off with the IOPN Diploma and I have developed a set of skills which has allowed me to work with some top level athletes. In the past few months I embraced the challenge of starting my own business which couldn't be going any better."

🇩🇿 Bousbah Rayane

DipIOPN

Performance Nutritionist

"... when it comes to sports nutrition, the IOPN has set the standard. All the science, and even the fuzzy edges of science are taught masterfully... And a more important pillar to the Diploma's teaching, is the art of practice, where you transition from the science and papers, to the world of the individual athlete. In summary, the IOPN Diploma is the ultimate source for those interested in REALLY learning the science and practice of sports nutrition."

🇮🇪 Lucia Hughes

"I am absolutely delighted to have graduated with a Distinction in Performance Nutrition from the Institute of Performance Nutrition 🤩 The past year required a lot of planning due to juggling a full-time PhD, starting an online business and completing this course but I wouldn’t change it for the world 🤹🏽‍♀️ Not far off becoming a circus act, but as they say you don’t grow inside your comfort zone! Really looking forward to implementing what I’ve learned over the past year in my own and other’s training."

🇬🇧 Sophie Occleshaw

DipIOPN

"I have received my official certification from @theiopn as I am now officially a Qualified Sports Performance Nutritionist 🥳. I made the decision when the pandemic struck to make the most of lockdown procrastination time and engage my brain instead 💪🏼🧠. Two years later, and here we are 🙌🏼. Whilst studying, I still work full time as a Mental Health Nurse, Commenced an additional certification through work which I’ve also now competed, in Family Therapy Interventions in Psychosis. And as always, remained a carer, athlete, and wifey. There is no magic to achievement. It’s really about hard work, choices, and persistence."

DipIOPN, MSc

Head of S&C, Exeter Chiefs

"During last year’s pre-season we used what we’d learned on the course to change how we fuelled between sessions and that made a massive difference in the intensities they were able to perform in the gym and out on the pitch. We were able to run much more intense sessions by getting something as simple as carbohydrate intake correct. We’re now planning for our next pre-season and we’ll be able to refine our processes using our knowledge from The IOPN."

🇬🇧 Paul Booth

PhD, DipIOPN

"Since graduating I’ve actually done a master’s in sports nutrition but I found the knowledge base from the diploma was far more in depth. I’ve got a PhD in Education Philosophy and Online Learning so I could see how good the quality of the course was in terms of the learning materials and how well structured it was. Not everyone gets the benefit of making that comparison but having worked in academia for so long, I could see how strong and robust the course is."

I read about the diploma and felt it would fill that gap in my expertise."
