Feeling lost preparing the CDRE?
You're not alone!
If you're feeling lost, you're not the only one.
Most dietetic students feel the same way. That’s exactly why this guide exists.
Let’s be honest - preparing for the CDRE is stressful. You’ve worked for years toward this - and now you’re stuck with scattered resources and no clear path, wondering:
Why we created this study guide
Hi, I’m Ina - a Registered Dietitian who’s recently been in your shoes. When I was studying for the CDRE, I realized there was no single, trusted, Canadian-made resource that pulled everything together.
Like you, I felt confused, anxious, and honestly, a little lost. My colleague Dora and I teamed up to create for you what we wish we had back then - a comprehensive, organized, and easy-to-follow study guide based on the Alliance of Dietetic Regulatory Bodies 2025 CDRE Exam Blueprint.
This guide isn’t just notes. It’s a study system to help you study smarter, feel more confident, and walk into the exam feeling more prepared.
"I passed the CDRE in 2023 - and I know exactly how
overwhelming it felt. So, we created what we wish we had
- for you."

Why It’s So Worth It
Aims to Save You Time:
We have spent 200+ hours of compiling notes and writing 185+ practice questions so you don't have to → comparable to an $8,000 value (based on the median RD hourly rate in Canada of $40/hr as per GC CA)
Canadian RD Exam Prep Resource
Career Readiness:
Preparing thoroughly the first time may help avoid delays in entering the workforce — where RDs typically earn $33,000–$41,000 in their first 6 months (based on average RD salary in Canada reported by Glassdoor as of August 2025)
Education Finances:
After investing approximately $80,000–$100,000 (see here for cost breakdown) in tuition, fees, textbooks and unpaid placements (including the now mandatory Master’s degree), it makes sense to support your prep with structured resources.
Reduced Stress:
Having a clear plan and practice tools can ease the pressure of high-stakes exam prep.
💡 Perspective: You would be investing about 1% of a typical RD’s first year salary in a resource designed to help you prepare with confidence.
