Ashworth college career diploma or AFPA certificate?

Asked by Jea (2points) April 18th, 2012

I really need your help about this, in order to make up my mind. I am Master of Business and Communication, and I wish to change my career. I’ve been thinking about nutrition courses for some time, so I can become a nutrition consultant (I know i can’t be registered nutritionist without bachelor’s degree or more). So, i was wondering, which one of those two are better for me: Ashworth career diploma for Nutrition, Diet & Health Science, or AFPA Nutrition & Wellness Consultant Certificate Course? I know they are completely different thing, but i need someone with experience to tell me which one of those two can give me more opportunities to find a work. I don’t live in the USA, so it’s bit tricky to catch all the facts about this online.
Looking forward to your answers!
Thank you!

If you already have a masters degree, you may be able to get an additional bachelors degree in nutrition with far less coursework than that required for someone with no degree. That would be preferable to either of the two above choices. Then you can sit for the RD examination (more information on the exam at this site).
