Prerequisites and
​Instructions

What are the requirements to join CAIN?

If you have graduated from an Approved School Program that meets or exceeds the requirements for the CAIN-RHNP or the CAIN-RHNC designation, you are pre-approved to join The Canadian Association for Integrative Nutrition. 
​

Once your membership has been submitted and activated, you will receive a confirmation email providing you with a Canadian Association for Integrative Nutrition verified stamp to add to your website.  The email will also include your official certificate with unique registration number and lots of useful tips on how to make the most out of your membership.
​
​Note: If you have graduated your courses in the current year, your 35 Credit Requirement is already fulfilled although we do encourage you to keep on learning throughout the year with us or through an approved school.

Did you graduate from a school that is not yet approved? 
If you are a graduate of a Nutrition Consulting or Holistic Nutritionist diploma, consisting of a minimum of 2000 hours; including advanced subjects such as Anatomy & Physiology, Nutrition Sciences, and Symptomatology, your school may qualify for "Approved School" status and the Registered Holistic Nutrition Practitioner/Registered Holistic Health Practitioner (RHNP/RHHP) professional designation.  

Most schools are eager to sign up to help their students.  The best way to make this happen is to email your school requesting they get approved so you can start enjoying your membership as soon as possible.  Feel free to copy us in info@integrativenutritionassociation.com so we can answer any questions the school may have.
