College of Naturopathic Medicine Opiniões 455

i came to CNM fresh out of A levels where I was pressured to apply to traditional universities, even though nothing aligned to what i wanted to study. i was rather nervous coming to study here because I was never really academic but its been already one semester and I’ve learnt so much, found like minded friends and did well on my exam. I’m happy I came to CNM to study herbal medicine:)

The course has given me courage to pursue medicine that i have always wanted to do and has also aligned with my job as a head chef and further me to give nutritional plans to those that suffer with different ailments.

Naturopathic Nutritional Practitioner is just not a learning experience it gives me a hope to fulfil my dream to earn with my passion. The most important thing is that this course is for everyone and for all age groups who like and belief in the healing power of nature. Teachers and processes of learning is student encouraging. YOU CAN EARN WITH WHAT YOU LEARN

A lovely place to study and engage.
The course material and lecturer are amazing and it was one of my best decisions to start studying here.
I can not wait to see what is next and to learn more fascinating things.

Overall, my experience at CNM has been positive and enriching. The course has encouraged me to think about health more holistically and to consider the interaction between diet, lifestyle, digestion, and individual biochemistry. I have appreciated the emphasis on critical thinking and understanding underlying mechanisms rather than simply memorising information.

The workload and pace can be demanding at times, particularly when balancing multiple modules and assessments, but this has also helped me develop stronger time-management and independent learning skills. I have found the clinically relevant focus of the teaching motivating and aligned with my interest in applied, practitioner-based nutrition. Additional opportunities for case-based learning and integration across modules would further enhance the learning experience.

I originally signed up in 2024. I am a veteran in trying to find a reputable college to study this very much needed modality. So I had done my homework.
Online teaching is where we need to go. Goodness knows, there are many charlatans out there on the internet. CNM ticked all the boxes for me based primarily on its Intl Accreditation and reading all the wonderful reviews.
This College is full of wonderful lecturers. The Modules indeed are very informative and cover everything we would need to be competent, caring coaches.
However.
Once I had voted for them, within the first 2 modules (I was just on the end of the 1st Module). Everything started to fall apart.
First off I started having challenges communicating with IT and tutors. Then I noticed that review papers attached were seriously outdated. Finally, the 3rd Module, Exercise, was totally out of touch with broad spectrum health coaching.
I deferred (paying the fee to do so, with no interview from a mentor, tutor) due to personal trauma and a hope that this 3rd Module would be reviewed.
To their credit, they did review and restyle the Exercise Module and the exam format.
However, their communication, tutorial support, IT, outdated lectures, remains below the standard compared to the high price we are paying UK Pounds.
Good, well intentioned people who have fallen into the trap of overselling without the necessary support, skills?
A lot of my fellow students feel the same, but are afraid to go public for fear of reprisals in their exam markings.
I still believe in this College, but unless we speak out things can only get worse.

Gail M, the Director of Studies at the Birmingham Nutrition Clinic is one of the many reasons I am so pleased I found this amazing institution. What an mazing teacher, inspiring and concise, just what a slightly overwhelmed Nutrition student needs. Thank you Gail.!!!

Excellent course with amazing lecturers and mentors. This is a very indepth course which includes a full year of biomedicine followed by two years of Naturopathic nutrition with real life clinics, qualified nutrionists and herbalists. The vast amount of information is quite overwhelming but necessary if you want to become a nutrionist and really help people. I am now in my final year and have started to see clients in the student clinic, it is nerve wracking but also very enjoyable. All the students support each other and the lecturers are always very supportive too. I have really enjoyed my time at CNM and will miss everyone but Im sure we will all keep in touch when we are working in the field.

Before enrolling in the Health Coach programme at CNM, I had been diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer and had already begun chemotherapy. I enrolled because I believed in the holistic values the institute publicly promotes.

After starting the course, chemotherapy took a serious toll on me physically, mentally, and emotionally. I requested a postponement, which was agreed, but I was still required to continue paying full fees despite not attending or undertaking the programme. I repeatedly asked for the payments themselves to be postponed so I could continue at a later date when my health allowed. These requests were refused.

I was passed between multiple departments without resolution, denied escalation to an alternative decision-maker when senior management was unavailable, and never received an apology for how this situation was handled. This was particularly disappointing given that cancer is part of the curriculum, yet there appeared to be little practical understanding of what a patient undergoing chemotherapy is experiencing.

While a postponement was eventually maintained, the handling of this situation did not align with the values the institute presents publicly. I lost trust in the organisation and would advise prospective students to proceed with extreme caution before enrolling.

First of all, just by being part of CNM is an honour, as this collage teaches human how to heal internally, we are using what we are learning to every single day of our lives, from learning about the parasympathetic and how this effect everything in the body to every aspect of food and nutrient that could have the impact on daily life from sleep to digestion.
From the first lecture of cytology, I was attached to all the deep information given to understand how this magnificent mechanism work called the body, then comes all of the other parts of lectures to include all aspect of human as wholeness.
I am so lucky to have this opportunity of learning.
Totally recommending it to all human, as we all need to understand the given body to be able to function our best in anything we want.
Thank you CNM

Only on the 3rd module but thoroughly enjoying the course! Such a well organsied course with so much support! Cant wait to continue and finish!

CNM made me to see what i have been looking for in terms of proper education in body anatomy and physiology. The mode of teaching is simple and well defined. The lecturers are amazing! i like to recommend this amazing college to everyone who is willing to increase in knowledge to join us. No age bound.

I can't review the courses as I've not done them. I'm more writing a review to warn others to read the small print before signing up or enrolling with them.

Their marketing/recruitment process is quite relentless, they'll call you up to three times a day. If they have any inkling you're considering the course they will persistently ring. It's funny because I had one senior consultant ring me incessantly to make sure I would enroll. Eventually I did. Then there was a mix up with some of the logistics over location (not what I had chosen yet I was put down for it). Same senior consultant blamed a new student admin staff for the mistake and asked if the new arrangement would work for me. By then I'd read all the reviews, seen the red flags and sent an email to withdraw and cancel my contract. I was able to do this because it was luckily still within the 14 day cooling period and under a distance contract. The moment I responded and said I had withdrawn my contract, the senior consultant hasn't even bothered to read my message. In fact, they've completely aired me.

I had to chase up student admin to confirm my cancellation, eventually sending them a firmer email stating I'd go to county courts if I didn't hear back. This prompted them to eventually respond.

If you are considering enrolling, consider doing it over the telephone so it falls under a distance contract - this way you have 14 days to cancel and receive a full refund if you do change your mind.
Be firm and explicitly state the monies owed under the terms and conditions.

I am a lecturer by career and have always wanted to do this course. Unfortunately when I signed up, I suffered a loss in my family and following on from this a financial position that was beyond my control. The credit control department is ruthless, hiding behind policies and procedures. Their "bailiff" approach to resolving financial matters is discouraging and forceful. This is an education platform not a credit card industry. I am being charged £20 a week for email reminders. Until I comply with their policies and procedures. I am not allowed a refund and told to pay or pay a penalty. I'd wished Id read these comments before. PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS IN SIGNING UP.

Great learning experience! I highly recommend the course. I've learnt so much and I am now even more passionate about Health and Wellness! So Happy!

Very deep and profound learning which make me confident to practise. I will recommend CNM to everybody who seek a solid foundation in alternative medicine.

I have been passionate about herbs for quite a long time so when I came across CNM and looked up their herbal medicine qualification, I knew it was right for me. I am now in year 1 of the herbal medicine part of my studies and am really enjoying the course. It does require a lot of dedication and study but it is well worth it.

I am so glad I chose the online Naturopathic Nutrition course at CNM, it offers a very convenient method of studying, layout of course is excellent and support from academic tutors and Director of studys is amazing. Practical skills in clinic is obtained at designated CNM sites, which I found invaluable. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested.

The knowledge I gained on the Naturopathic Nutrition Diploma course helped me to navigate an unexpected (advanced) cancer diagnosis and to find my way back to health. The extensive knowledge shared is hugely empowering in helping people to take control of their health and to assist others to do the same. Disease prevention is of course preferable, but I'm grateful I learnt about the world of integrative cancer care just in time. Health is wealth, so I believe the effort required on this often challenging course is worth it.

Highly recommend theCNM Naturopathic study course. If you are looking to gain more pratical knowledge and skills in naturopathy and learn how to utilise incredibly useful and insightful diagnostic techniques then this course will cover all of this plus more.
