Enrolment Requirements & Course Fees

Level 6 Diploma Courses – Enrolment Requirements

 
  • Basic computer skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • A minimum of 5 GCSE’s (grade C and above, including Maths & English)
  • 2 A levels or BTEC Extended Diploma or Access to Higher Education Diploma   
  • Compulsory interview – all candidates who wish to study at BCNH must have an interview with a member of the BCNH academic team. Interviews may take place in person at our Head Office, or may be via video-conference (e.g. Skype)

You can complete the BCNH Interview Form here (having an interview does not oblige you to enrol on course).

 

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.

 

 

English Proficiency

  
 If English is not your first language, you will also need to provide an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) certificate with a minimum grade of 7.  

Mature Students

Mature applicants (over 21) with a variety of educational backgrounds, including those who may not have formal qualifications, are welcome to apply and will have the opportunity to demonstrate that the skills and knowledge they have acquired from their life experience have equipped them to succeed on this course.

Enrolment Process

Step 1:     An Interview

Step 2:     Place Offer Letter

Once we have received your completed and signed enrolment documents, with the appropriate fee, we will enrol you on the course and confirm your enrolment in writing.

Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL)

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.

You can apply for APL following an interview with a member of the BCNH academic board. We will only be able to consider your application for APL once we’ve received the necessary documentary evidence.

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)
