by | May 10, 2021

As you seek to maintain your RD credential each 5 year recertification period, you may be wondering what the best CEUs are for RD entrepreneurs in 2021!

After all, there are many resources for general RD CEUs. However, not all RD CEUs are necessarily geared towards RD entrepreneurs. In this article, I outline 5 of our best CEU recommendations for RD entrepreneurs in 2021! But before we get into the bulk of the recommendations, first allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Tony Stephan and I’m a dietitian business coach. I help RDs make more IMPACT and more INCOME through nutrition coaching. However before I became a dietitian business coach, I was an RD nutrition coach. I served thousands of nutrition coaching clients over a time span of 12 years. My successful nutrition coaching business is what led me to where I am today. Now allow me to share with you our top 5 best CEUs for RD entrepreneurs in 2021!

Top 5 Top CEUs To Build Your Nutrition Business

Dietitian Nutrition Coaching Certification

If you are interested in working with nutrition coaching clients on a one-on-one basis, the Dietitian Nutrition Coaching Certification is a phenomenal resource for you and your nutrition business. Here are 3 key aspects of the Dietitian Nutrition Coaching Certification:

  • Self-paced video modules with assignments designed to help you with real-world application 
  • Course and course materials remain available for one full year 
  • 30 CEUs granted upon successful completion of the certification and the final test

This course is done 100% online and you have access to the material for an entire year upon signing up. While it remains available for one year, it takes an average of 6 to 7 weeks to complete! 

What sets the Dietitian Nutrition Coaching Certification apart is that it is rooted in application. It’s a real-world tested and proven coaching system that teaches and enables you to know what to do with a client at every single stage of the nutrition coaching process. It will walk you through step-by-step on what to do in your very first coaching interaction with a client, all the way until they reach their goals and graduate from your program. You also gain access to a thriving Facebook Community of DNCC students of all different backgrounds and experience levels! This enhances your course experience by giving you a space to ask questions, learn from and interact with other dietitian entrepreneurs. To top it all off, you also receive 30 CEUs at the end that count towards your RD recertification cycle!

We have had 500+ students successfully complete our Dietitian Nutrition Coaching Certification. We’ve also had many RDs go on to make six figures as they have graduated through our other RD business coaching programs.

Again, these recommendations have been placed in no particular order, but the Dietitian Nutrition Coaching Certification would be one at the top of our list!

Best CEUS for RD Entrepreneurs: RD Entrepreneur Symposium

If you know you want to become an RD entrepreneur, but you’re not exactly certain where you want to go in the realm of entrepreneurship in dietetics, the RD Entrepreneur Symposium is a great resource for you. Here is how it works. It is a 4 day online event where you get access to 24 masterclasses from various speakers who are successful, six figure RD entrepreneurs. I have spoken at this event multiple times and that’s one of the many reasons me and my team love it. Even though the event is 4 days long, you still have access to the masterclasses for up to a year! What’s even better is that the entire event is worth 23.5 CEUs. So not only are you learning valuable information, but you are also getting CEUs that count toward your recertification cycle. 

However it is important to plan ahead for this CEU opportunity because it is seasonal. This means that this CEU opportunity is not available at any given time. So you must watch for updates and keep an eye out for the next planned RD Entrepreneur Symposium. Although our CEU recommendations are placed in no particular order in this blog, if we were ranking them, the RD Entrepreneur Symposium would be ranked highly on our list for best CEUs for RD entrepreneurs!

Top CEUs for RD Entrepreneurs: Dietitian Central

If you’re looking for CEU opportunities that include a wide variety of topics, Dietitian Central is another excellent choice! Although Dietitian Central covers a wide variety of topics, it does have an entrepreneurism topic category to choose from. So if you’re looking to learn about entrepreneurship and other topics while earning CEUs, Dietitian Central is a great choice for you.

Amazingly, Dietitian Central has over 70 different topics to choose from when selecting a CEU. So it has an excellent variety of topics to choose from. A unique aspect of Dietitian Central is that it allows users to rate each CEU on a scale of 1 to 5 based on their experience. 1 being the worst experience. 5 being the best experience. This rating system allows users to see the perceived value of those who experienced the CEU before. If you’re looking to learn about entrepreneurship in addition to other topics AND earn CEUs, Dietitian Central is a great choice!

Nutrition Entrepreneurs DPG

If you are an RD entrepreneur who intends to stay as an RD entrepreneur for the long haul, the Nutrition Entrepreneurs DPG through the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics is an excellent resource. For a small annual investment, you will get 18+ CEUs each year through your membership. What’s even better is that the CEUs are geared toward RD entrepreneurs! Although the Nutrition Entrepreneurs DPG offers annual CEU opportunities, it offers multiple other resources too! It is a great opportunity to learn from other experienced RD entrepreneurs, network with like minded entrepreneur RDs, and get involved in an RD entrepreneur community near you.

Skelly Skills

If you’re looking for CEU opportunities that include a variety of topics, Skelly Skills is a great resource! Although they cover a variety of topics, one of their topic categories is dedicated to entrepreneurship. What’s even better is that there are some free CEU opportunities through Skelly Skills. In addition to free CEUs, they also offer a deal of the day if you’re looking to make a money conscious decision.

Aside from entrepreneurship their current categories include diabetes, mindful eating and non-diet approach, weight management, counseling education and communication, nutrition food and culinary science, hot topics and emerging trends, and WIC public health and pediatric nutrition. If you’re looking to learn about entrepreneurship mixed in with other topics and get CEUs, Skelly Skills is an excellent choice!
