Time Requirement
This program takes one year to complete. Students may complete lessons sooner, however, early graduation is not offered. Tests and health coaching sessions are scheduled throughout the entire year and completion is necessary for certification.
Many of our prospective students are sure that they want to study nutrition, but they’re not sure whether to pursue a traditional Registered Dietitian program, or a certificate program that takes less time and costs less money. Choosing the right nutrition school is an important decision. See what makes us different from other nutrition programs.
