Certified Vegan Nutritionist
The Course For Your Health, a Fulfilling Job and Your Commitment to the Future of Our World.
Study at Germany's Most Popular Distance Learning School
Are you enthusiastic about the vegan idea? Are you convinced of the ethical, ecological and health benefits of a vegan diet? Are you standing up for your values with passion and conviction?
Three Good Reasons
Switch your vegan turbo on with the right knowledge, scientifically based and easy to learn – for yourself and your personal well-being, for a (part-time) professional new start in an area you are really passionate about, and for the future of our planet.
The Challenge
You probably know them all – the myths, prejudices, and insecurities about vegan nutrition:
- A vegan diet is unnatural. I do not want to take extra vitamin pills.
- My family says a vegan diet cannot be healthy.
- I simply do not know any alternatives to cheese, meat, and fish.
- I feel bad about eating meat, but I do need protein.
- I cannot tolerate soy, so I cannot eat vegan. Besides, the rainforest is dying because of it.
- Vegan food just does not taste good.
- Where I live, I do not know any vegans.
- I feel sorry for the animals but ...
In other words: When it comes to vegan nutrition, many people have an opinion, but maybe not enough knowledge about it. So, some beginners quit again although they would have just needed a little support. Others become so insecure that they do not even dare to try out oat milk or a lentil roast – even though they do not want to support animal exploitation and the associated ecological insanity any longer!
And this is where you step in.
We would like to ask you a very personal question: When was the last time you have learned something that enriched your professional and personal life?
Look forward to a unique pool of knowledge that will amaze and inspire you! Here is a selection of questions you will be able to answer with your future expertise:
- What are the consequences of intensive animal livestock farming for the environment?
- Is there a "species-appropriate" diet for humans?
- What are the health benefits of a whole-food vegan diet?
- Do vegans really need lots of supplements?
- How do you avoid nutrient deficiencies?
- How can you tell if a statement or study is reliable – or if you should better not trust it?
- How do you cover your nutrient needs in distinct phases of your life?
- And the number one question every layperson asks – How can vegans eat enough protein?
With the scientifically based and tested knowledge from our course, you will become the "living proof" of health and vitality through a vegan diet. You will perform as an expert, a valuable multiplier of the vegan idea. And you can give professional advice and guidance to interested omnivores, vegan beginners and experienced vegans.
- Give yourself and others the confidence to benefit nutritionally and with pleasure from all the advantages of a vegan diet.
- Be professional and convincing when it comes to health, animal rights and ecology.
- Enjoy the freedom to work anywhere at any time.
Professional Commitment
Learn everything you need to know as a vegan nutrition expert and live your passion with a forward-thinking (second) profession.
In-Depth Knowledge

Powerful Community

What well-known supporters of the vegan idea say about our distance learning courses:
Sebastian Copien
Vegan Masterclass
If you want to acquire professional nutrition knowledge flexibly and from any location, ecodemy is the right choice for you. The teaching quality is at a very high level here. As the creator of the Vegan Masterclass, I know how much passion, heart and soul and commitment are needed to prepare and convey the course content to participants of the online lessons in such a way that they not only benefit from it, but also really enjoy learning. The ecodemics have a first-class concept and implement it excellently.
Julia Schneider
ProVeg e. V.
At ProVeg, we get asked what courses we recommend for plant-based nutrition all the time. ecodemy is, in my opinion, a fantastic option for newbies as well as for experienced nutrition professionals who want to refresh or deepen their knowledge. In addition to detailed course books, factsheets on individual nutrients and diseases, manuals for preparing for self-employment are available. The course teaches the fundamentals of nutritional science as well as counseling skills, which are essential in nutrition education.
Jobst Eggert
PETA Germany
As a result of the educational work of animal protection and animal rights organizations, more and more people are opting about a fully vegan diet. Simultaneously, there are an incredible number of myths and misinformation about purely vegetable nutrition. The fact that ecodemy made it its mission to teach people of all age groups and to carry that science-based knowledge further, is an important component of a world in which vegan nutrition no longer the exception, but the rule.
Jannik Disch
Natty Gains
Plant-based nutrition is hip and therefore also plays a major role in the nutrition software of Natty Gains. At ecodemy, we particularly appreciate the professionalism and passion of the entire team. The possibility of acquiring knowledge about vegan nutrition from anywhere and at any time, is great. ecodemy is doing an outstanding job.
Rieke Petter
Albert Schweitzer Foundation
I have long been looking for a good way to scientifically substantiate my previous knowledge of vegan nutrition. ecodemy convinced me: The teaching material is well laid out, the support by the experts on the online campus is excellent. I can recommend the distance learning course at ecodemy to anyone who wants to acquire well-founded, applicable knowledge and is looking for a challenging training opportunity that is varied and fun.
Lea Green

Markus Megyeri
Welt Vegan Magazin
Dominik Grimm and his team obviously succeed in imparting (distance) knowledge in such a way that the participants are enthusiastic, keep at it, and can also use this know-how on the job market after graduation. As employers, we benefit greatly when applicants or self-employed partners bring such complex knowledge with them. It makes countless things easier and saves time and money. The future will need more top trained Vegan Nutritionists, but we are not worried about that, THANKS to ecodemy.
Dirk Müller
Vegan für mich

Joachim Hiller
Kochen ohne Knochen
The sharing of expert knowledge about vegan nutrition is essential to train future professionals in this field and thus to set a counterpoint to the conventional offers, which are mostly still very fixated on animal products. ecodemy makes a valuable contribution to this.
