Accreditation to Care About

Why do we need organizations such as C.A.I.N. committed to providing support, accreditation, and valuable business resources to Canada's booming industry of Holistic Nutritionists and Health Coaches? 

The integrative health and nutrition industry is largely unregulated by the government.   This means without any schooling, the are no government provisions set forth or legal repercussions if someone completely lacking qualifications decides to say they are a Holistic Nutritionist, Nutrition Coach, or Health Coach and start seeing clients.   This is not only unacceptable, it is downright dangerous!  

The public must be protected, your reputation as a qualified professional must be recognized, and the industry must be audited.   This is where CAIN comes in. 

Accreditation of education programs is focused on quality of instruction, overall curriculum, program delivery, and determining whether students completing the program have successfully learned the materials by way of effective knowledge testing methods. Holding a designation with The Canadian Association for Integrative Nutrition confirms to the public and potential employers that you have the proper experience, education and tools to call yourself an expert in your field.  

Why Become a Member?

In an unregulated industry it is more important than ever to have a specified standard of education, and accreditation to ensure industry growth.  You will be provided with a certificate, registration number and member seal to confirm to potential clients and employers that you are a confirmed elite professional in your field.
