Accreditation Information
CE Credit

Make sure each course is approved for CE credit for your profession before you order.

Nutrition Dimension courses meet requirements for continuing education for many professions. Not all professions pre-accredit courses or CE providers. If your profession is not listed here, you may still be able to take our courses for recertification credit. Contact your credentialing agency or professional governing body for instructions.

You may use credit from one course completion for CE credit toward recertification for more than one profession at no extra cost. Simply provide all certification information in your profile in “My Account”. You can then print as many certificates as you need.

    Important: New editions are new courses! The Commission on Dietetic Registration has determined that revised editions of correspondence courses are considered completely new courses.
