- Assessors & career advisors:
- All of our assessors & career advisors are Openly Accredited – degree qualified (ranging from exercise scientists/physiologists, registered dietitians and sports dietitians) members, who are permanent part time employees for the association, who maintain a substantial part time client load in private practice. We structure these roles intentionally so that we can guarantee the information you are being provided for your career advice, or feedback on your assessment is coming from someone who has achieved at a very high level what you are wanting to achieve, and has their finger very much on the pulse in private practice & client work.
- We are the first and only Association to established a minimum standard of education, experience requirements that coincide with levels of Accreditation as a Sports Nutritionist
- As a result of these established standards, we have provided a framework where the public & insurers + underwriters can be (and are) comfortable endorsing and working with our professional members
- We have Trademarked – & are in the process of attaining Certification marks of quality assurance in each country/region we operate in – the title Accredited Sports Nutritionist to ensure the standards associated with the title we have worked hard to establish are not tarnished or diluted in any manner that may result in the public being mislead in the quality and assurances of a service provider in this space.
- We conduct annual audits of everyone of our members to ensure that these standards and practices are being maintained
- We conduct annual reviews of our standards & academic curriculum requirements, in conjunction with our insurance partners, lawyers, regional government health commissions, & advisory board to ensure that the standards are both meeting the needs of the industry & reflecting the organisation’s vision for industry impact & improvement
