Australian College of Weight Management & Allied Health

SESTILIA MAZZOCCA | GRADUATE DECEMBER 2017| VICTORIA

“ My name is Sestilia Mazzocca and I have just finished studying with the Australian College of Weight Management. Words can’t describe how fantastic this College is; the support I got was far and beyond my wildest expectations. You won’t find this level of support anywhere else (I know I have tried). The knowledge that the support team have is fantastic.

I have dyslexia and, in the past, I felt like I had it but not with this College. The confidence they give me with my studying was the best I ever had. They don’t just give you your Certificate and say see you later, no they’re still there if I need any help. I can call and they well help me out no matter what. For example, I need some help with starting up a business and they’re still there helping me out giving me the support I need to start my business up.

I would highly recommended studying with the Australian College of Weight Management, I feel like they’re now my other family. I love this College so much I am now a member and I will be back to study further. Thank you again for everything, I am so glad I found this College.”

"For the past 4 months I have been completing my cert IV in weight management with ACWMAH.

I have previously completed my cert III & IV in fitness online, so I had a bit of an understanding of what to expect when studying online.

With my previous course I really struggled with my assessors, because they would mark a question as wrong, and not give an appropriate explanation as why it was wrong or how I can improve on it in the future. They just didn’t offer a good student assessor relationship.

Coming into this course I was expecting similar, as that was just what I thought online courses were (poor services).

BUT…

To my utter surprise studying with ACWMAH has been an absolute joy, they have offered a wide variety of services to make the assessments progress as easily as possible, and allow all the student to communicate so that you can talk to other students on the same assignment and pinball some ideas off each other.

After my first couple assignments, I realised that this place was different.

They wanted you to succeed. Throughout my course there were a few times where I did struggle to wrap my head around some of the questions, and each time it got marked the assessors will actually give appropriate feedback for me to be able to answer the question. And when that wasn’t enough, I could actually message them and seek further advice and clarification.

I am in my final stages of my cert IV, and I am looking forward to start progressing though my Diploma, all of the support and assistance offered makes completing assignments a breeze, and for anyone who has struggled with assignments in the past, there is no need to worry, as they cater for all people and knowledge levels."

“Studying with ACWMAH seems like a natural part of my process of integrating fitness, mental health and nutrient as a holistic approach of getting people on the healthy side and help them to be the truly best version they can be! The team at the ACWMAH was truly wonderful and encouraging and I would highly recommend it to everyone who has a thirst for knowledge and desire to truly help people on their journey to better health."

“I have just heard that I have successfully completed the cert 4 and am now embarking on the study of the Diploma in Weight management, so that I can further my knowledge and gain more confidence in consulting and imparting my knowledge

I was a little apprehensive that I had “past my sell by date “in terms of studying again, after all I am 56 years old, but Laura and the team reassured me that I could do this at my own pace and that I was not the only advanced age person to embark on this journey.

Studying the Certificate 4 online through the Australian College of Weight Management has given me an insight into how the body works as well as the nutritional requirements of the body. Learning this has given me the skills to consider a business opportunity in weight management.

Laura and the team were always willing to assist me in completing my assignments and putting me back on the right track if I wasn’t. I enjoyed the fact that I could study at my own pace and in the comfort of my own home whilst still gaining this nationally and internationally accredited qualification.”

After many years of resorting to all sorts of weight loss programs and diets, I finally realised that the holistic approach was the greatest approach to weight loss and wellbeing. My interest and desire to learn about nutrition and weight loss in a healthy and manageable manner is what lead me to do my course through ACWM . It isn’t just a quick course, instead it gives you knowledge and equips you to tailor design each individual’s weight loss program and also prepares you on how to market your skills and business.

DI SCOTT | WEIGHT LOSS CONSULTANT| NUTRITION & WEIGHT LOSS SOLUTIONS

“Nutrition and health have always been my passion. Working as a Fitness Instructor in a Women’s Gym I work with women advising them on their fitness and weight loss goals. I have a very personal interest in the area of weight loss and health, having lost a lot of weight in my early twenties and maintaining my weight and health for 25 years.

I wanted to attain more skills and knowledge in the area of nutrition, meal & diet planning and in particular, behavioural change and goal setting, with the idea in the future of creating my own business.

Researching online for the right course I discovered the Australian College of Weight Management’s qualification, which ticked all the boxes I was looking for. An online work at your own pace course, which included not only nutrition, business and marketing modules but also running group programs and behavioural change. The course gave me the flexibility I needed whilst working and juggling family commitments. The support provided during the course was always available and even after completing the course (close to a year ago), becoming a Member of the ACWM has provided ongoing opportunities to attend workshops and seminars, online webinars and a network of like-minded professionals and colleagues for continued professional development and support.

The skills and confidence I have gained from completing my qualification and having access to industry experts, allowed me to take the next step by starting my own business last year, which is steadily growing, and I’m loving it!

I highly recommend the ACWM for anyone wishing to further develop or gain professional skills and qualifications in the nutrition & weight loss industry.”

TANISHA TOTTMAN | FOUNDER | BUSY SLIM

“I decided to enrol with the Australian College of Weight Management after attending a conference to gain more knowledge about the subject of Weight Loss. Having already looked into different courses that would provide greater knowledge than I already have, and provide credibility in this field, I was impressed by what the course offered and signed up to do it on the same day I found out about it.

I have been studying for the past year and it has been easy to follow and immensely rewarding. The information provided and the confidence I have gained through doing the course has been outstanding. Not only have I learned a great deal but doing this course also gave me a solid platform for creating my own Weight Loss Consulting business Busyslim, which kicked off in July 2014 and is going forward in leaps and bounds.

Doing this course has been one of the best choices I have ever made! If you are serious about learning about how to help people lose weight then you need look no further….this is definitely the qualification for you!”

KERRIE ROBSON | STUDENT

“I was looking for a career change in an exciting industry and came across the Australian College of Weight Management’s course. I am nearly half way through the course online, and have found it extremely interesting and easy to follow, with a lot of information and research materials provided. I receive constant online and direct support provided whenever I need it.

I have learned so much about nutrition, its effects on the human body, the importance of psychology behind Weight Loss, and in general, healthier ways to lose weight. I can’t wait to complete the course and get into the industry.”

SUZIE FARRELL | STUDENT

“Sonja and her team made it very easy to start my course. I downloaded everything I needed to get things going. If I have had a problem with my assignment questions I have been given information so that I can resubmit the question. I’m not finished yet but so far my experience has been positive.”

DEBBY NORTH | STUDENT

“I am part way through my course and I must say I am most impressed with the customer service from my initial enquiry to the current support I am receiving. I highly recommend the Australian College of Weight Management. I found the college’s method of online delivery most suitable to my current schedule. Even though delivery is online you never feel that you are alone as the tutors are always there for you. Coming from a training background myself of adult education I can honestly say that the college is of a high standard and I am very confident of completing my course and obtaining the necessary skills of becoming a weight loss consultant. I highly recommend them.”

CHRISTINA RASMUSSEN | STUDENT

“I have been interested in health and fitness for around 14 years now, more specifically the nutrition side of it. When I graduated from high school the only course at university that interested me was Nutrition and Dietetics. I began my studies in personal training through Fit Nation but threw it in after I was about ¾ of the way through. I then went back to university to study Health Sciences in Nutrition but only completed 6 months as it was difficult with work and travel. Finally I have found a course with the Australian College of Weight Management that is convenient, well structured, professional and very manageable for me. It focuses on a holistic approach so I get to learn about psychology and nutrition, not just exercise. The staff are motivating, helpful and professional. I would thoroughly recommend this course.”
