MESSAGE OF THE NNC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Thank you for joining the e-Learning Course on Local Nutrition

Program Management.
This is the first electronic learning course of the National Nutrition Council. Our aim is to
provide an alternative mode for learning and improving competencies of those who are
involved in nutrition program management (NPM) at the local level. These can include the
nutrition action officers, district/city/municipal nutrition program coordinators, members of
local nutrition committees, program implementors at the local level. The course is also open
to national and regional level program managers and implementors from government, and
nongovernment organizations who provide assistance to local government units and
communities. The members of the academe as well as students in nutrition courses are also
welcome to register.
This version of local NPM has been updated from the version developed in 2010.
The online course enables learners the opportunity to access the course on their preferred
schedule and go through the modules at their own pace without leaving their workstation.
The course offers a discussion board to allow participants to interact with each other,
allowing for maximized learning.
The course provides an advantage to participants and their organizations as disruption in

work is lessened compared to attending face-to-face trainings. Cost is also minimized as there
are no cost for travel, board and lodging and other incidental expenses. And the best thing is
that the course is absolutely free! Participants will just need to log-in and register. But what
if you have limited or don’t have an internet connection? No worries, an offline version has
been developed so that the course is inclusive. Professionals can also earn Continuing
Professional Education (CPE) units from the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) upon
successful completion of the course.
We hope that many practitioners will register and complete the course. We aim to saturate
the country with technically capable nutrition program managers and implementors to
support nutrition improvement as we aim to end all forms of malnutrition in the Philippines.
Mabuhay and thank you for your participation.

COURSE ANALYSIS
COURSE DESCRIPTION
CONGRATULATIONS for enrolling in the eLearning course on Local Nutrition
Program Management (NPM) Course for Local Nutrition Workers!
Please read this course guide carefully and completely.
The Course will walk you through an exciting journey on how to manage your
nutrition program in your workstations.
The NPM course in general is designed to teach local nutrition workers,

members of the local nutrition committees, and other stakeholders on how to
effectively plan, implement, monitor, evaluate, and sustain nutrition programs,
in the context of the overall local governance and development system.
The Course consists of eight modules that cover various lessons to enhance your
knowledge and skills in the area of local NPM and strengthen your core values
as a nutrition worker.
However, you are advised not merely to read the modules but to interact and
learn with it. At the end of each lesson, self-assessment activities in the form of
quizzes, self-assessment questions, and exercises are included to assess what
you have learned.
This implies that you can only proceed to the next module if you have
satisfactorily passed what is being studied. Taking the quizzes will be unlimited
until after you get the correct answers. However, different questions will be
asked each time you have the retake. Results will demonstrate how well you
understood lessons and would prompt you what still need to be done. A post-
test or final examination shall be given that will enable you to integrate and
apply what you have learned in all modules.
Version 2.0 September 2021

COURSE GOALS

7. identify ways on how to use results of M&E for re-planning for
sustainability.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
For this course, you are required to study the course materials listed and go
through the course activities. For me to assess your learning outcomes, you are
expected to answer quizzes at the end of every lesson. You are also expected to
participate in discussion forums. As well, post-test will be administered.
Exercises. These are not graded but should form part of your learning as a
check and balance to gauge to what extent have you understood the material.
Submission of the exercises is required for completion of the Course.
Quizzes. You need to answer a short quiz after each lesson, which you can take
several times until after you get a perfect score. In so doing, you will learn in the
process based on self-assessment. Badges are earned for completed quizzes.
Discussion Forum (DF). You are expected to participate in the discussion

forum. Write your responses to the question and comment to at least five
postings of your classmates. The DF reflects how you think as a group. It also
mirrors the depth and breadth of the practice of nutrition workers across
regions and gives a picture of the general experience of learners in the field of
nutrition program management in the country.
Examination. Final examination will be administered electronically as soon as

you are ready on or before the two-months (8weeks) period ends.
The examination can be taken for UNLIMITED TIME if you have passed all
quizzes and have completed all class requirements. This implies that you can
take the examination anytime and not wait for the last day of classes to end.
However, if you fail the examination, you will not be issued a certificate of
completion. Passing mark is 80% of the final examination.
This also means that you can learn at your own pace and time. As an
independent learner, you have the prerogative to choose what, when, or how to
learn at any given time. While this is allowed, you may want to follow a more
systematic study guide.

Certificates. As soon as you have completed and passed the final examination, a
certificate will be automatically generated by the system if you are taking the
examination online.
For offline learners, certificates will be issued by NNC. In order to receive a copy
of the certificate, you must print and submit a copy of the following:
1. Progress report;
2. Evaluation form;
3. Profile sheet; and
4. Re-entry Plan.
You may submit it to either of the following:

Firstly, the responsibility for learning falls squarely upon your shoulders. In case
you succeed, the credit belongs to you exclusively. In case you fail, you have no
one to blame but yourself. However, this does not mean that learning should be
an individual activity.
You are fully encouraged to form support groups or online study groups among
yourselves, using Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Google Hangout, Skype, Face
time, or Facebook. Start communicating with your classmates to form these
workgroups.
Secondly, it means that you require specific qualities in order to succeed.

Paramount among these qualities is discipline, focus, and determination. You
should likewise possess an analytical or critical mind.

in case you exceeded 3 months, we suggest that you start again the course
for fresher information.
