Admissions & Enrollment

How to enroll, what it costs, and what to expect from start to credential.

Who these programs are for

Personal trainers, health coaches, wellness professionals, and career changers who want structured nutrition education and a credential to show for it. No prior degree is required.

How enrollment works

  1. Choose a program. Start with the CN unless you already have equivalent coursework.
  2. Enroll and get access. Coursework opens immediately after enrollment.
  3. Work at your pace. Modules include readings, activities, and a module assessment.
  4. Sit the examination. Proctored final examination once all modules are complete.
  5. Receive your credential. Certificate issued on passing, with verification available.

Common questions

How long does it take?

Most students finish in three to six months working part time. There is no fixed schedule and no penalty for taking longer.

Is there a practice exam?

Yes. A study guide with practice examination is available separately and is strongly recommended before sitting the final.

What if I do not pass?

Retakes are permitted. We would rather you sit it twice than have a credential that does not mean anything.

Does this let me practice as a dietitian?

No. See the programs page — this is a private certification, not RDN credentialing or state licensure.
