NCFE (QCF) Level 2

The distance learning nutrition and health (VRQ) Level 2 course is the ideal course for anyone wanting to understand the key principles of nutrition and how our diet affects our health and well-being.

The distance learning Nutrition and Health (VRQ) Level 2 course is undertaken through home study, which means you can study as and when it suits you and don't have to make major changes to your lifestyle while you gain new knowledge and skills.

A report by the National Audit Office warns that if the current trends continue, a quarter of British adults will be obese by 2010. In addition, it is estimated that illnesses associated with poor eating habits are already costing the NHS more than £500 million per year.
