FFC's Personalized Project Program: FFC PPP
Goal of PPP
Through the PPP, we will collaborate with you to create a personalized learning experience that will teach and train you in the functional food topics of your choice. We will construct customized lesson plans based on select chapters from the almost 200 chapters available in our Functional Foods textbook series. You can also choose to learn from FFC’s seminars complete with powerpoint slides and written articles if you prefer. In addition, we will work with you to create a personalized project that will solidify your understanding and provide you with a hands-on education of functional foods.
This course includes 80 hours of training, which involves self-guided study, virtual meetings with your functional foods instructor, and completion of your personalized project. During meetings with your instructor, who will be an experienced expert in the field of functional food science, you will discuss what you have learned as well as how the knowledge you have acquired can be applied in your field.
Eligibility
The PPP is both flexible and customizable, and can provide massive benefits to all people interested in functional foods from industry professionals to university students to those not involved in science at all. Thus, we encourage people of all backgrounds who are interested in functional foods to participate. It’s never too late to learn about the foods and compounds that compose a healthy diet and the ways that they can benefit society. The PPP can be used to gain FFS or FFP certification.
