NSA's Register of Nutritionists

To help the public identify those with high-quality expertise in nutrition science, NSA has set up a Register of Nutritionists. There are two levels of recognition:

• Associate Nutritionist (ANutr) - you're eligible to apply for this if you have a bachelor’s degree majoring in nutrition, or equivalent
• Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) - if you meet ANutr criteria and have 3 years [full-time equivalent] subsequent nutrition-related experience and/or formal study. We also offer specialist registration in animal nutrition (RAnNutr) and public health nutrition (RPHNutr) to those with appropriate expertise.
