D.I.N.E. Detroit Institute of Nutrition Education - 2026 Spring Class Schedule is Open for Enrollment!
Welcome to the Detroit Institute of Nutrition Education (D.I.N.E.). You are stepping into more than a classroom—you are entering a learning kitchen, a thinking space, and a community rooted in nourishment, skill, and purpose. Here, food is not just sustenance; it is science, culture, safety, and sovereignty. Every lesson you encounter is designed to sharpen your knowledge, strengthen your confidence, and translate learning into practice you can use immediately in real kitchens and real communities. Whether you are here to earn certification, advance your career, or deepen your relationship with food and health, you belong in this space.
As you begin this journey, remember that learning, like cooking, is a process of patience, precision, and curiosity. Mistakes become teachers. Questions become fuel. At D.I.N.E., we believe education should feed both the mind and the future—opening doors to opportunity while grounding you in responsibility, excellence, and care for others. You are not just preparing meals; you are preparing pathways—for yourself, for your family, and for the communities you serve. Welcome to the table.
