Metabolic Typing Training
MTEC UK offers four levels of Metabolic Typing (MT) Certification. Certification allows you to offer Intermediate and Advanced MT programmes to your own clients and patients.
You will start your training with Level One, and if this is adequate for your needs you may choose to be certified at Level One only. If you wish to pursue Metabolic Typing in more depth and at a more advanced level, you may continue your training, attaining certification up to Levels Two, Three and Four. Each successfully completed level broadens your view of Metabolic Typing and helps you support your clients with more options and programmes.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us using the contact page.
