Description

This course has been specifically created for secondary school food teachers. It will help to provide a foundation upon which the GCSE/National 5 specifications may be taught.

The course covers:

  • Module 1: Proteins

  • Module 2: Carbohydrates

  • Module 3: Fats

  • Module 4: Enzymic browning

  • Module 5: Raising agents

Each module includes a short test, providing you with feedback on your progress.

On successful completion of a final assessment, a personalised certificate is created. (The final assessment may be repeated).

The course will take approximately 2-3 hours to complete but does not have to be completed all at once. You can complete the course at your own pace – there is no time limit.
