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.
