Tackling Obesity Certificate
Tackling Obesity Certificate
Obesity has become a serious health risk in the UK and rates are increasing every year. Learning more about obesity and how to effectively tackle it is, therefore, very important to improve and save the lives of those affected by it.
This course provides a holistic, complete and well-balanced analysis of obesity in all its forms and how we can effectively tackle it as individuals, family members and local and global citizens. We start by defining obesity and looking at the facts and stats while also defining the correlation of obesity to race, socioeconomics and education levels. We discuss the causes of obesity and provide a detailed guide to recognising and treating obesity in children. Lastly, we examine new initiatives by the UK Government, the NHS and UK schools, as well as the WHO’s stance, strategies and plans to tackle obesity head-on.

- The details and facts of obesity as it relates to race, culture and socioeconomics

The course was clearly set out with helpful end of week tests which built my knowledge. Being dyslexic I found the course was set out in an easy to understand way. I was able to pass the test on my first attempt. The downloaded pdf are a useful resource that you can keep forever. Looking forward to the next course

This is a great course for any level of knowledge. Very easy to navigate, great practical tasks and explanations are very clear. You can revise any module with no problem. The test wasn’t too hard if you completed every module. It may be handy to make some notes before you start. Overall I'm very happy with my choice. Thank you New skills for my New skills :)

Wow what an incredible insight for the start of anyone's journey in property. This course gives you so much information and there are tests and questions on each of the modules. The course is very easy to follow and well laid out. You can actually make notes on the pages of each module using the notes tab! I am very excited to say that I passed and I only spent one week on this course. I will print all the PDF information and keep it in a file with my certificate. I feel very confident for my future plans now I have completed this course.

I found this course incredibly useful, as it provided me with practical knowledge which I can implement in my role as a Support Worker. The videos were clear and concise, and the downloadable worksheets reinforced what I had learned as I was able to put pen to paper. Overall, a fantastic course for a great price! I am looking forward to taking on my next one.
