Overview

Recent advances in food science and technology have opened up new opportunities for Singapore's F&B businesses to explore the use of novel ingredients and techniques in food preparation. While these new developments have the potential to benefit the F&B industry by diversifying food offerings and reducing operational costs, food safety and nutritional aspects must not be overlooked.

In this programme, learners will receive comprehensive instruction on the vital aspects of nutrition and food safety relevant to the F&B industry. They will then apply this knowledge to create healthy dishes and wholesome meals for consumers with different dietary needs, and to identify food safety risks and suggest approaches to manage these risks.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the programme, learners will be able to:

  • Appreciate the roles of nutrition and food safety in promoting and maintaining human health
  • Plan and create safe and nutritious meals for consumers with different dietary needs
  • Identify and analyse food safety risks
  • Propose methods to prevent, reduce, or eliminate food safety risks

Assessment

As part of the requirement for SkillsFuture Singapore, there will be an assessment conducted at the end of the course. Participants are required to attain a minimum of 75% attendance and pass the associated assessment in order to receive a digital Certificate of Completion.
