Course summary
An apprenticeship is a job first, with specialist training. Apprentices will develop the knowledge and applied understanding of food science and technology, as well as the practical skills and behaviours required by their employers. The course is delivered over 4 years, with up to 6 block teaching weeks on campus per academic year. Apprentices are expected to attend all teaching weeks for practical sessions and lectures. 20% of contracted working hours are protected for off the job training and study towards the apprenticeship.
