Does anyone know of any good reputable schools that offer a CDN program and also offer via online? The only one I've been able to find so far has been local and the program doesn't start again until the fall.

And also, what would be a step above a CDN?

Thanks for the help as always!!

I don't believe there are any online schools that will offer this program. the CDN will require classroom as well as clinicals. I am curious what you goals are in attaining a CDN - many states do not recognize that certification. If you are serious about the field, look into getting your RD (which is the next step) Another route to go would be to look into a Diet Tech program, it takes about half the time get will get you plenty of knowledge.
Hope this helps!

RD is the way to go - best future and pay. My friend is pursuing a BS in Kins, as well as a BS in RD, and is already starting to get job offers.
