Become a Nutrition Coach: Learn the Fundamentals of Nutrition Science

Created by: Akash Sehrawat

Last updated March 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 13,145 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in March 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Akash Sehrawat's course is a short nutrition primer built around a certificate. In about 5 hours and 101 lectures it covers energy balance, BMR and TDEE, macronutrients, micronutrients, fiber and probiotics, a module on nutrition myths, and a long section on superfoods. There are 5 quizzes, a graded final exam with a 70 percent pass mark, and 28 text articles. The real draw for many of the 67,000 students is the accreditation: NASM and AFAA continuing education credits and 15 CPD hours. It suits fitness professionals who need those credits and beginners who want the basics without a textbook.

Reviewers like how plain it is. The words that keep coming up in the five star reviews are clear, uncomplicated and easy to understand, and one mentions the notes that come with the videos. The complaints are consistent too. The low star reviews say the instructor reads from his slides, moves fast, and sounds monotone, and one notes the editing cuts out pauses so the delivery feels rushed. Two things stand out on the low end: one student who could not reach Fabulous Body to claim the certificate, with another still waiting on it, and one reviewer who flagged a claim linking diet to autism as misinformation.

It was refreshed in March 2026, so the material is current. On our Teaching and Academics list it is the odd one out beside writing, statistics and Spanish courses. Treat it as a fundamentals refresher with a certificate attached. If you need CEUs or a first pass at nutrition science, it does that job in a weekend. If you want rigorous, evidence heavy teaching, look for a university backed option instead.

Best forPersonal trainers and yoga teachers who need a quick nutrition grounding plus CEUs, not a science degree.
Skip it ifYou want depth on biochemistry or a lively lecturer; reviewers say much of it is slides read aloud.

Pros

  • Covers BMR, TDEE, macros and micros in about 5 hours, short enough to finish in a weekend
  • Accredited for NASM and AFAA continuing education credits plus 15 CPD hours
  • Reviewers call the delivery clear and uncomplicated, with notes available alongside the videos
  • Refreshed in March 2026 and rated 4.4 by over 13,000 students

Cons

  • Several reviewers say later modules are slides read aloud in a monotone, at speed
  • One reviewer could not reach Fabulous Body for the certificate; another was still waiting on it
  • One low star review flags a diet and autism claim as misinformation; quizzes are basic
I enjoy how the material is presented. Nice and clear, uncomplicated, therefore easy to digest.
Jo Colgrave, a student

Listed as all levels with no prerequisites; it is a beginner course, and trained dietitians will find little new.

The course is amazing and has clear videos and notes available. Easy to understand and has basic information the we need about our nutrition. I Personally find it very helpfull because I have tried many diets but nothing worked for my weight loss, so after this course i realised where i was going wrong. since im a yoga teacher , having basic knowledge on food is very important. Wonderful Course. Thank You

By Udemy User on 4/24/2026

It has given me a brief introduction about what the nutritional world is about, it's benefits, accountability, applicability, and the main part is how it works for you and others. I really liked your holistic approach , the way you connect the dots and present it into a simplified manner is quite commendable. I am very much excited to dive into this course blended with modern approach and Ayurveda that gives you a feeling of satisfaction that you are on the right path

Thank You Akash for making such a Wonderful Course, and your four hours free Course is outstanding, your all Courses are best tool for everyone's 360° thrive.

By Édouard Mercure on 1/18/2026

I'm on section 6/9. The course was going well until the module on micronutrients. From then on, it became clear to me that the professor was simply reading from his notes without much explanation. The video editing, which removes silences, makes it difficult to understand, and I think I would have absorbed the material better by reading his notes directly. The assessments are quite basic, and it's obvious that the professor doesn't really know much about educational sciences. For example, the section on micro-minerals and macro-minerals ends with a very specific question that gives no indication of overall understanding of the subject: "What are the functions of manganese?" I find it hard to believe that one can become an expert in nutrition, let alone teach it, after taking this course.

By Husain Raza on 12/31/2025

This course is just amazing for beginners. This course is Affordable, Complete, Concised and Topics are Well Organized, also Mr Aakash is very knowledgeable and experienced trainer & teacher and the way he explains is great and easy to understand also the study material, the graphics and content quality is top notch. Not to forget that the certificate is accredited with 4 institutes, Course is very helpful and affordable especially for Indian students, aspiring to get into fitness industry, other institutions are charging thousands of rupees for the same course. My take is go for this course without thinking twice.

By Muhammad Muzakkir Khan on 12/3/2025

This course has allowed me to take stock of my own health and wellbeing and focus on how and what I eat. Akashs lectures are informative and easy to understand. This course has had a tremendous impact on my life.
