Join us for an exciting AND practical Nutrition Certification program for Wisconsin doctors. This course contains the 48 hours of classtime and the testing required to receive your Nutrition Certificate from the Wisconsin Board of Chiropractic.
Instead of taking 4 separate weekends to complete this program, we have combined the series into 2 full 24 hour weekends. This class not only gives you what you need for your Nutrition Certification, but you also get your CE hours for license renewal!
You are required to complete a 48 hour course consisting of 4 - 12 hour sessions. At the end of each 12 hours, you must take an exam over the material presented and pass with at least 75% or higher.
