Level 2 Award in Healthier Eating and Special Diets

This qualification is aimed at those involved in catering, food and health-related occupations, and also to carers, community workers, fitness trainers and other individuals that have a role in the promotion of health. It would also be appropriate as part of lifestyle education for people of all ages, and especially for young people. Holders of this will have a good understanding of the basic principles of nutrition which underpin the production of healthy food and preparation of special diets, and the key role of nutrition in health. This short course is usually delivered over one day, and will be assessed by a 30 minute examination, consisting of twenty multiple choice questions.
