Description

About This Course

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.

This course covers:

  • Module 1: How we perceive food

  • Module 2: The reason for sensory evaluation

  • Module 3: Sensory tests

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

On successful completion of a final assessment, a personalised BNF 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.

Your views are important to us and we welcome any feedback you would like to send. You can contact us by email: education@nutrition.org.uk
