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 

Finally, if students want to improve their cooking skills so that they can impress others, develop independence for when they leave home, as well as treat family and friends I would recommend BBC Food and Good Food websites as their recipes are tried and tested. BBC also have clips showing specific cooking techniques:
