Overview

Food and Nutrition Management Diploma

This program develops skills in all three areas—food, nutrition and management. Food and Nutrition Management is a nationally accredited two-year diploma program offered at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Saskatoon Campus. 

Build practical, hands-on knowledge and skills in food, nutrition and management, including:

  • basic cooking and food preparation
  • food service and customer relations skills
  • coordination of catering and cafeteria promotions
  • management and marketing skills
  • menu planning
  • nutrition and special diets
  • participating in healthcare teams

Hands-on training in food preparation and cooking is an important part of the program. As a supervisor or manager, you need to know food service from both sides of the “house.”

Your practical training in nutrition includes nutritional assessment, menu planning and writing specialized diets as part of overall health treatment plans.

Get Real-World Experience

A practical experience in your second year provides on-the-job training in food and nutrition management in acute care, long-term care and/or commercial settings. 

You’ll also polish your management skills during a one-month project at Le Bistro, the popular coffee shop on Saskatoon Campus.
