What else is it there for you:

Modular training, commonly known as fractional specialty training, has several main advantages:
-
It allows a student to choose only the subjects that correspond to his/her personal needs;
-
Unlike the full specialty training, the modular one has no limit on the number of hours dedicated to a given subject, or in total. This way, a student can select an optimal schedule, taking exactly the needed time for any subject matter that prompts for further development.
-
Just like the full course, a modular training also ends with a EU-certified document – „Vocational Training Certificate“.
Sample Training:
-
Food hygiene and legal framework (6 hours);
-
Contents and storage of food products and ingredients (4 hours);
-
Organoleptic analysis and food processing (10 hours);
-
Cold and hot apptetiser preparation (15 hours);
-
Preparation of selected main courses through thermal and product processingа (20 hours);
-
Food design (6 hours);
A full course training gives you all, including that what you already might possess. A specialised training provides you with the skills and knowledge you lack.
