Personal and Nutritionist certifications

[BABY1]

I have been thinking about taking course online to become a certified Nutrition consultant. Does anyone know what kind of certifications there are out there? Also, does anyone know of any good online courses? I have been searching arouund the net and there are so many. I just don't wwant to throw my money away on a program that isn't worth it.

I would stick to well known providers such as, ACE, AFAA, Fitour, ISSA, I know these have online courses. There are many out there, as well as alot of junk you pay a fortune for and the credits aren't good towards any certification or credit hours.

Here's a place you can get online and or at home courses that are good for learning as well as credit hours for your certification. I've used them for years and they have some very educational courses!

There are so many like I said, just really depends on what you intend to do with or use it for.
