One of the short-term undergraduate learning modules in the hotel management and catering sector is a certificate course in food production, often called a diploma program in food production. These courses typically run two semesters, or 1 years.
The minimum standards for admission are based on grades earned in 10+2 or its equivalent in any of the following fields: science, commerce, or the arts, from a recognized school where English is taught as a major subject in the last year.
The admissions processes may vary from one institution to another. While some institutions base their admissions decisions on grades earned in the 12th grade, others do need an entrance exam.
The foundation course in food production, the foundation course in front office management, hotel engineering, nutrition and supplements, kitchen layout and organization, culinary history, and other disciplines are typically taught within the food production category.
