In just 4 months, students get an in-depth dive into the biological sciences, nutrition coaching, meal planning, food preparation, food policy, dietary restrictions, sports nutrition, and many other exciting topics. We’re excited for you to join us through our virtual classroom, where we aim a near-identical learning experience for our students as what they’d receive in one of our Calgary/Edmonton-based physical classrooms, taught by our Registered Dietitian instructors.

Learning Nutrition Virtually – Is it for me?

There is great value in taking part in the Applied Nutrition Science Diploma’s virtual classroom, as in addition to it being near-identical delivery to being in a typical classroom, students also get a much closer experience to what it would be like to work with clients through online methods and use online tools for coaching, meal planning, demonstrations, and presentations.

No matter what type of learning you are; kinesthetic, visual or auditory, this program is for you, as it checks off all the boxes for all learners. Our instructors are specifically instructed to accommodate all learning styles, and being that they’ve all come from a traditional instruction environment, they are experts at ‘engaging the room’.

Kinesthetic learners need not worry. Students get to take part in all the same hands-on experiences through the virtual version of this program as they would if they were in a typical classroom, the setting is simply sometimes different. For example, instead of doing a partner activity in the classroom, you’d be doing it from home in collaboration with a partner through a virtual break-out room.
Visual learners need not worry. All the same visual tools are utilized within the virtual delivery as in a typical classroom. For instance, instructors continue to utilize PowerPoint as their main presentation tool, and there’s even a virtual whiteboard where instructors and students can draw and write supplementary material. Also, the pre-recorded lectures that students watch in between classes, are extremely visual, with diagrams, graphs, and various imagery explaining the concepts.

Auditory learners need not worry. In addition to the live instruction being one where there is a great deal of explanation of concepts by the instructors, there’s also an opportunity for students’ to ask questions and for the rest of the class to hear the answers to those. Additionally, students can book 1-on-1 time with the instructors for additional tutoring or simply a review of the material.

ELA’s Virtual Classroom vs. Other Online Courses

ELA’s Virtual Classroom

Very few differences from taking a course in a regular classroom. We believe with being hands-on and engaging with our students.
Theory and application are in balance: Every class includes both, learning of theory its application into practice. Be ready to move, feel, maybe even sweat.
Live engagement & support: Whether it’s live group engagement, or individual support in a private setting, both are available and applied with all students.
Plenty of structure and accountability: Just like taking a program at any reputable post-secondary educational institutions, there’s a strict schedule of class attendance and assignment completion.
Govn’t-Designated Diploma upon Graduation: 
ELA’s Personal Fitness Trainer Diploma is government-designated, and along with it, students also receive: Level C CPR, an internationally-recognized personal training certification through the American Council on Exercise, along with a Practicum Certificate.

Typical Online Courses

Most courses involve self-directed learning from a book and then, simply, the writing of a test. 

Little or no application: There are no practical or hands-on components to most online courses.

Independent learning: In most courses, there is zero interaction with an instructor and/or fellow students. 

Students learn at their own pace, leading to high incompletion rate: Although, for most of us, learner-driven education may sound appealing at first glance, it doesn’t really work, unfortunately.
Lacks regulatory & industry recognition:
Beware! Most online certification courses are developed by non-regulated private companies that do not guarantee quality or accuracy of curriculums.

I just finished and graduated in Diploma for Personal Fitness Trainer. I have learned so much and my brain got full knowledge from the best instructors in school. Crystal, Jarred and Leah are really the best! They have established credibility in their knowledge and they really care about the students. The excellence in their teaching styles have different strokes but have the same goal, and that is the CARE to share their knowledge to us and make us to become the excellent fitness professional.For those who are still thinking about starting a fitness career, this school is my HIGHLY recommended for your guys. Your tuition fee is all worth it. You will not be disappointed and you will finish this school with a smile in your heart and full of knowledge in your brain and you will become successful!

Took the personal trainer course and it was easily the best educational experience I've had by far. The instructors are unreal and just a fountain of knowledge. I would do it all over again if I could. If you're considering your options for any certifications they offer just pick ELA, you wont be disappointed.

I was enrolled (and completed) the personal fitness trainer program. It's also worth noting that I'm a massage therapist, with a strong knowledge of muscles and their movement, and I still found this program challenging. But it's also worth it.The instructors genuinely want to see people succeed, both in the program and out in the real world, and although the course requires you to be quite self-driven, they will provide you with the resources and assistance where able to ensure you succeed.I would also like to point out, ensure you can structure a healthy work/school/life balance before enrolling. It'll help a lot. :)

I cannot recommend working with ELA enough! I spoke to one of their classes and received a warm welcome, great questions, and lots of interest for a practicum. I was impressed with their level of professionalism but also "real" nature and honesty around the personal training industry.From the class, I was able to work with a practicum student and loved how she was always ready to watch, interact, and even take over on the spot. I appreciated her enthusiasm, willingness to learn, and great people skills - she made people at ease and jumped right into their sessions with them.I'm grateful for a fun experience with ELA and would recommend connecting with them for any personal trainer/business owner in the fitness industry.

After much research I came across Elevated Learning Academy. I decided to enroll in the Personal Fitness Teainer Diploma program and I am so glad I did. The instructors, Leah and Daniel were extremely knowledgeable and prepared me for the industry I was entering into. I would recommend anyone interested in becoming certified to check them out. You get the practical work along with the textbook work!
