TESDA Food Processing Course NC II in the Philippines

As there are a lot of food-related courses present today, this is one of the most basic of them all, although, if we really look into it, it is simple yet challenging. Food processing comes with handling of food, operating common food processing equipment and packaging. You may already apply the ideas you knew about the processing of foods, plus, you may still learn new stuffs regarding this short program.

People are not too naïve as to let their work be as simple as fixing their bed. In fact, even when we fix our beds, we put in a little effort so the outcome will not be a so-so. Same is through with our work, and relating to this, there is so much more than just packaging and stuffing foods to their respective places. We may also learn to apply food safety and sanitation before packaging finished or processed food products. The essence of working as an individual and as a team will be developed here as well because there is a shift for individual work and that of teamwork. We are to be taught how to implement good manufacturing practice procedure and maybe perform mathematical procedures too.

Lastly, but definitely one of the most important things is the practice of occupational health and safety procedures. There are actually more skills that we may learn from this Food Processing, short course, but if we discuss each, then it wouldn’t be a surprise to those who are interested.
