This qualification supports progression from Level 2 particularly GCSEs in Hospitality and Catering, Home Economics: Food and Nutrition, Design and Technology: Food Technology, Biology and Physical Education as well as vocational qualifications such as the WJEC Level 1/2 Award in Hospitality and Catering. Students will require a keen interest in both the practical and the scientific aspects of food. They will have a positive attitude to learning through the completion of work, experimental exploration, skills development and nutritional research. This course offers exciting and interesting experiences that focus on applied learning, i.e. through the acquisition of knowledge and understanding in purposeful contexts linked to the food production industry. Unit 1 will enable you to demonstrate an understanding of the science of food safety, nutrition and nutritional needs in a wide range of contexts, and through on–going practical sessions, to gain practical skills to produce quality food items to meet the needs of individuals. Unit 2 allows you to develop your understanding of the science of food safety and hygiene; essential knowledge for anyone involved in food production in the home or wishing to work in the food industry. Again, practical sessions will support the gaining of theoretical knowledge and ensure learning is a tactile experience. Studying one of the two optional units allow the opportunity to study subjects of particular interest or relevance to you, building on previous learning and experiences. As well as the practical aspects you will be expected to complete high quality analytical work based on real life scenarios. You will produce studies and reports, using the knowledge you have gained from the practical, experimental and theory sessions.
Students must have achieved a minimum of Grade 5 or above in both English and Mathematics and Grade 5 (equivalent) in at least 3 other GCSE/Level 2 qualifications.. A Merit in Catering or a Grade 5 in Food and Nutrition at GCSE is also required.
