Online nutrition courses - any recommendations ?

I am becoming increasingly interested in the nutrition side of wellness and wondered if anyone has any experience of online nutrition courses.
I don’t want to work in this field, it’s purely for personal reasons. I find food combining to make the most of nutrients fascinating, deficiencies and their impact on the body and disease... .. I am quite disciplined time wise and I love learning, I’ve done a degree online and am currently learning German.

    I would start with basic college courses on nutrition, as anything else could be subject to bias.

    I am also very interested in the nutrition side of wellness and thought about buying the online courses off Groupon, they are normally around £25, but think going to college would be better as you have the help from an instructor.

    CISSN if you want the real deal. Precision Nutrition also decent. You want some who-doo bs just hang out on the forums and listen to people’s advice on detoxes haha. Also enroll in a community college and take some. Relatively cheap both the above classes/certifications will cost you about 1000 dollars

    It's been awhile but I took one online from Shaw Academy. If they still offer it for free then I'd definitely recommend it.

    One of the college nutrition courses I took was taught by a professor who was vegan. I definitely wouldn't call the curriculum in her course 'unbiased'. Fortunately, if you looked beyond her agenda and stuck to the information in the textbook, it was useful and educational.

    Thank you everyone. I’ll have a google of your recommendations
    Local collage or community collage isn’t an option as I live in Switzerland and my German is really only conversational - not at the level I would need for studies.
