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
Vegan en vogue-Magazin
ecodemy is considered The Professional Distance Learning School for Vegan Nutrition in German-speaking countries and was already awarded many times – rightly, as we of the Vegan en vogue think. The team of vegan nutrition experts consists of highly competent nutrition scientists and coaches, who educate students at the highest level and turn them into qualified multipliers of the vegan idea: scientifically educated nutrition experts in the field of plant-based nutrition. If you are looking for training in this field, ecodemy is the right place.
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
Anyone who knows Dominik Grimm and his highly competent team knows they are in the best hands! Here, professional quality and creativity meet vocation and responsibility for a sustainable, plant-based life. This in a fast-growing market: Vegan nutritional counseling is a profession to which the future most certainly belongs. With a solid training, as offered by ecodemy, you can only win.
Simone Fuhrmann
Swissveg
Top organized distance learning courses with very individual, efficient and fast support. They are extremely professional and well-informed. Currently, unique in the field of veganism. The learning material is great and in addition to the written material, there are also videos for all modules and topics, which make studying more varied and easier.

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.
