The Deal
- $29 for an online dietitian practitioner prep course ($600 value)
The dietitian practitioner prep course, which includes a certificate, gives students a foundation in dietetics. It covers such topics as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and their importance, as well as how to create meal plans to help clients lose weight or live with a disease. Students who have completed this course often have an edge over others entering into a dietetics program.
Aim Redstone Consultancy
Normally, it would be tough for a school to host a class on dog grooming down the hall from a lesson on dental nursing. But such variety isn't an issue for Aim Redstone Consultancy. The online training academy offers courses on everything from journalism to accounting using interactive modules that students complete from home.
The classes delve into both creative and administrative realms, preparing clients for new careers with basic, intermediate, and advanced coursework. Depending on the topic, courses can take between 40 and 500 hours to complete, but students aren't pressured to progress at a breakneck pace. Instead, they can access their course at any time and move through it at their own speed. Many courses also award certificates upon completion, which can upgrade résumés and impress dinner guests when used as a place mat.
