Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL)

As per our APL 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.

We cannot guarantee that your APL application will be successful. However, if we are not able to offer you APL, we will inform you why your request was unsuccessful.

BCNH criteria for a successful APL:

1.	For each module for which you are applying for APL, you will be required to submit evidence to demonstrate that the syllabus, exams or assignments covered in your previous study match the level, content and standard of the BCNH syllabus, exams and assignments
2.	To ensure that your knowledge is current, your previous study needs to have been successfully completed within the last five years.

3.	If the above evidence is not sufficient we may ask you to sit BCNH examinations for each module (examination fee for each assignment is £60)
