The WJEC Level 3 Diploma in Food Science and Nutrition has been designed to provide learners with underpinning nutrition knowledge, understanding and practical skills to progress to further study and training in either a food based course, a science course or sports and nutrition studies. This course offers a unique opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding through work related tasks linked to the food production industry in a practical environment. The qualification is split into two sections; namely a Certificate for a one year course and the Diploma for the two year course. This will run alongside linear A Levels and would allow students to gain a qualification if they choose not to continue into a second year. The courses are split into 4 units; to gain the full Diploma students need to complete two Mandatory and one Optional unit. For the Certificate the candidates will complete Unit 1.
Although there are no formal entry requirements, the 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. Note: This is not an A Level qualification and pupils should check UCAS requirements if they are considering a HE option outside of food/nutrition/sport.
