Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL)

As per our Admission Policy, if you’ve recently studied some of our syllabus as part of your previous qualification or study, and if we believe that the subjects have been covered in the same breadth and depth as at BCNH, this may exempt you from particular modules taught on the BCNH Diploma in Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine.

Applicants who wish to apply for APL will be asked to complete the BCNH APL Form and submit evidence accordingly.

Submission of an APL request does not guarantee that the application will be successful, however the academic team will do their best to accommodate the individual needs of a student.

Mature Students

BCNH welcomes applications from mature students (aged 21+) who do not hold the above qualifications but possess relevant work / life experience. Applications will be considered on an individual basis and will take account of current commitments and motivation to study.

Overseas Qualifications

Holders of overseas qualifications must provide evidence that their qualifications are equivalent to the GCSE’s and A Levels described above.

If you hold international qualifications, you can check to see how your qualifications compare to UK qualifications by submitting them to UK NARIC. NARIC will provide you with a Statement of Comparability which should be submitted with your application to study with BCNH.
