What Sets Us Apart

You will be taught by experts that have significant and meaningful experience in both industry and instructing at the post-secondary level. Our instructors know what it takes to succeed, and they can't wait to share the magic formula with you. Our dedicated team of instructors is as passionate about your success as you are. This should be the standard in the education industry but unfortunately, it isn't. You are more than just a number at Elevated Learning Academy! There are a lot of organizations claiming to provide quality education. Make sure you do your research, as many don’t issue a certified diploma, most don’t properly support or train students, many don't have access to government student loan and grant programs, and none specialize in preventative and natural health. Elevated Learning Academy and its courses are approved and regulated by the Alberta Ministry of Advanced Education. You can be confident in the education you will receive, and the diploma you will earn.

We teach you to use research and evidence-based practices to educate others about healthy food choices and eating habits that can reduce the risk of chronic disease. You will learn to help others make better-informed food choices. Understanding nutrition habits is much more than counting calories, enduring tough diets, and having to say no to your favorite foods. Our Applied Nutrition Science Diploma graduates learn techniques to ensure their client's goals are specific and meaningful and can be attained in a timely manner. Food and nutrition have become very hot topics in many social and media circles over the last 10 to 15 years. Our students learn to know the difference between evidence-based information rooted in research and science and unsupported trends on social media. Elevated Learning Academy students learn to guide people through the turbulent waters of nutrition advice. Community and culture are built on food, so become an Elevated Learning Academy student, and immerse yourself in a career of positive change.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much government student funding will I qualify for?
How much funding a student receives depends on the province that they’re applying from. However usually, the full tuition amount is covered, and typically, additional funding is also provided to help pay for reasonable living expenses. Our experts are here to help you ensure your application correctly reflects your life circumstances. 

How is your virtual classroom different from a typical online course experience?
A typical online course is dependent on student-directed learning, with no live instruction, and minimal interaction among the students and with the instructor. Elevated Learning Academy’s virtual classroom closely reflects a physical classroom, where all learning and teaching is done through a live video classroom environment. You interact with the rest of the class, ask questions, and break out into small or large groups for activities. The instructor will utilize similar tools to what they use in a typical classroom, like a virtual whiteboard, PowerPoint presentations, calling on students for input, leading class discussions, and hands-on activities.

What does it mean when you say Elevated Learning Academy is an accredited and regulated college?
Our curriculum, instructor qualifications, admission requirements, and program delivery model have all been approved and are subject to review by the Alberta Ministry of Advanced Education. This provides you the assurance that the quality and accuracy of the courses are always of the highest caliber.

Access to Government Student Funding is a key benefit we are proud to offer based on our accreditation.
