This is ideal for anyone wanting a food related part-time job but also anyone wanting to work in health related jobs or care e.g. nursery nursing, care homes, special needs
It has 6 modules which you can take separately or in one go, and again it has interactive activities. When you have completed the tasks you take the test and can print off a certificate

BBC also have clips showing specific cooking techniques:
