Start with the fundamentals. Build the knowledge to go further.

From genetics and nutrition to recovery, sleep, stress, peptide therapy, NAD+ and body composition, there is more information available than ever before. But knowing where to start and understanding what information you can trust can be difficult.
Our 101 Courses are designed to provide a clear, accessible introduction to key areas of health, wellness and performance.
They are the starting point for anyone who wants to develop their knowledge, understand the science and explore how different areas of health may influence the people they work with or their own health journey.
Genetics 101 is an accessible, introductory course that teaches the fundamentals of DNA, genes and genetic variation, and shows how genetic information fits into a wider, personalised approach to health, wellness and performance. No previous knowledge required.

No prior knowledge needed

Clear, jargon-free science

Foundational terminology and concepts

Real world application

A pathway into advanced learning
The 101 Courses are your introduction to the Optimum Performance Academy, and they're built as a springboard rather than a finish line. Once you have the fundamentals in place, our Applied CPD Courses take you deeper, moving beyond the "what" and into the "how". These full CPD courses are designed for practitioners, coaches, trainers and therapists who want to develop genuine professional knowledge: understanding assessment, interpreting findings, and integrating the subject meaningfully into their professional role. Start with a 101 Course to build your foundation, then progress to an Applied Course when you're ready to put that knowledge to work.
