Course Description

This course combines the practical aspects of Food Innovation and Technology. The course contains 3 Level 2 Food Technology Achievement Standards, and 1 Unit Standard (Baking) with up to 16 credits being offered. Achievement Standard assessments strongly support the achievement of NCEA Achievement Standard Excellence and Merit subject endorsement.

The main focus of this course is on developing a range of advanced culinary skills and knowledge of methods of cookery and their potential application in food product design.
