IICTN’s Diploma in Ayurvedic Nutrition trains practitioners to plan food and lifestyle programmes on Ayurvedic principles, at the Institute’s Mumbai campus and online.
What It Is
A 6-month, govt-aligned programme in Ayurvedic nutrition and lifestyle planning, delivered by IICTN. It combines classical Ayurvedic food principles — dosha-based diet planning, seasonal (ritucharya) eating, and lifestyle correction — with practical case-based training, so graduates can build food and lifestyle programmes rooted in Ayurvedic principles rather than conventional clinical dietetics alone.
Who It’s For
- Beauty, wellness, and fitness professionals who want to add Ayurvedic nutrition planning to their practice.
- Existing IICTN diploma/certificate holders (Cosmetology, Trichology, Nutrition) looking to specialise.
- Career-changers with a genuine interest in Ayurveda who meet the eligibility bar: 10th Grade Pass with 2 years of relevant experience.
This diploma is not intended for those seeking a clinical/hospital dietitian qualification — see the FAQ below on scope.
What You’ll Be Able to Do
On completion, graduates of IICTN’s Diploma in Ayurvedic Nutrition are equipped to:
- Assess a client’s constitution (dosha) and design food plans aligned to Ayurvedic principles.
- Recommend seasonal and lifestyle adjustments (routine, sleep, activity) alongside diet.
- Work in wellness centres, spas, yoga/Ayurveda studios, and as independent Ayurvedic nutrition consultants.
This diploma supports — but does not replace — licensed medical and clinical dietetic care, and it does not qualify a graduate as a Registered Dietitian (RD) or replace medical nutrition therapy.
