FDN2

Level 2 Food and Nutrition

Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: A. Knight.

Food and Nutrition will appeal to students who have an interest in culinary skills and learning more about nutrition. This course offers a combination of practical cookery skills and theory of nutrition and industry expectations.

This course will offer flexibility in individual course design where learners can take achievement standards and unit standards, however, the course will be run with a mixture of both.

The course builds upon the skills and knowledge developed in Level 1 but it is not a requirement. The emphasis is to continue to work on practical skills and increase the knowledge and understanding needed to work in the food industry and build a more technically advanced culinary repertoire.

This course requires a high level of commitment and attendance, as all the practical work for NCEA is assessed in class. There is a requirement for some study to be completed out of school.  The external assessment is optional, therefore subject endorsement may not be available.
