SENR Accreditation and Endorsement
There are many courses available which claim to equip someone to provide nutritional advice to athletes. The purpose of SENR is to promote high standards of education and services in sports and exercise nutrition. Any education you undertake therefore also needs to meet the standards identified.
SENR Accreditation
SENR has a programme of accreditation for MSc/PgDip in Sport and Exercise Nutrition. Students successfully graduating from an SENR accredited course (MSc) will be automatically eligible to join the SENR Graduate Register HCPC dietitians completing an SENR accredited PGDip will be automatically eligible to join the SENR Graduate Register. BDA annual membership fees apply.

Endorsed Undergraduate Courses
The undergraduate programme endorsement process recognises that the course programme has been mapped to the SENR knowledge competencies at an introductory / basic level. Thus, whilst the undergraduate degree would need to be supplemented by an appropriate postgraduate qualification for an individual to be accepted onto the Graduate Register, SENR endorsement denotes that the undergraduate element of SENR Graduate status has been achieved through this programme of study.
