Program details
Overview
Techniques de diététique (120.A0) is a technical Diploma of Collegial Studies (DEC) at Cégep de Trois-Rivières that prepares students to become dietetic technicians. Per the program page, graduates support health and well-being by promoting healthy eating, contributing to the development of recipes and food products, and overseeing food quality control. The role also involves assessing menu composition, participating in the creation of nutritional treatment plans, and managing food-service operations. The curriculum includes coursework in nutrition, biology, management, and food technology, covering how nutrients affect the human body as well as the relationship between food types and culinary preparation. Students also study hygiene and food-safety standards that must be respected in food-service settings. The page notes that training takes place in a real working context at the college's teaching cafeteria and an associated food-service unit, giving students hands-on exposure to food production and service management alongside their coursework. It suits students interested in nutrition, food science, and food-service management who want a technical credential combining scientific and management training with practical, workplace-based experience before entering the field.
