I have been a dietitian for almost 16 years now, and I have taken my share of courses for dietitians. Some have been less helpful and perhaps too niche-specific. However, I have taken a few gems that truly helped me become a better dietitian and have even helped me grow my dietetic business. Below are my top courses for dietitians. Many of these also provide the all-important CEUs.

Master The Media
I cannot say enough about this course. Whether you are a media dietitian or just trying to grow your street cred in your community, learning how to get quoted in large media publications and even interviewed on T.V. can take your dietitian business to the next level.
I am a dietitian blogger, book author, and freelance writer. This course helped me leaps and bounds.
I had been trying to get my message out to as many people as I could for over 4 years. Then after taking the Master the Media course, I was suddenly being quoted and mentioned in Parade, The Healthy, Verywell, and Eat This, Not That!, Byrdie, Fitbit, and Authority Magazine. My pageview numbers HAD been stagnant for years; now, they are growing again! I credit this growth to Amy and Erin’s Master the Media Course.
About a year after taking the course, I acquired my first freelance writing job. Now, I am a regular nutrition writer and endorser for a supplement company; I just finished a book I was hired to write, and I have been asked to be an editor for a health website.
Again, this course and the next one I am going to mention, helped my business grow more than any other course I have taken.
Bonus, Master the Media provides 65 CPEUS including the required ethics credit!

The Complete Content Creation Bootcamp
So, The Complete Content Creation Bootcamp is not just for dietitians, but since it was created by a dietitian, the course definitely knows how dietitians can grow their business through blogging. This course shows you how to get your blog posts to rank on the front page in google searches. This is huge! Your amazing nutrition cannot get read it no one can find it!
The Complete Content Creation Bootcamp is the other course that helped my business grow more than I could ever imagine. I am almost too busy! I was able to use the information from this course to research blog titles for my freelance writing jobs, The companies and websites that have hired me are always impressed with my SEO knowledge and with how I pick the blog topics for them using SEO data.
Discover Mindful Eating and Discover Mindful Eating for Kids
Discover Mindful Eating and Discover Mindful Eating for Kids changed my whole approach to nutrition counseling. And I personally lost 50 pounds when I started incorporating mindful eating into my life. The activities in this book are fantastic and so helpful as you learn to mindfully eat your food. After completing the CEU component of the books, you will receive 25 CEUS for each book.
Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness
By nature, I want to make sure I tell my clients everything they need to know to help transform their health. But just telling someone to do something isn’t really helpful. Listening and understanding the individual is so much more important. Motivational Interviewing helped me learn how to ask open-ended questions and how to work WITH the client to produce real and lasting change. This course provides 19 CEUs.
You can also get Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness book without the CEUs on Amazon here.
