This nationally accredited two-year diploma prepares graduates for supervisory roles in food and nutrition services. Coursework covers changing dietary and nutrient needs across the lifecycle, conducting nutrition assessments and modifying foods for therapeutic diets, and food and nutrition-related perspectives on Indigenous nations' traditions and culinary practices. Instruction is practical and hands-on, delivered in culinary labs and a simulation centre, with community-based partnerships including placements with the Saskatchewan Health Authority. The program concludes with a capstone project managing a food service operation in La Ronge. It runs 67 weeks over two years, delivered on campus at the Saskatoon campus, with a September intake. Graduates who wish to continue their studies can ladder the diploma into the Bachelor of Applied Management degree at Saskatchewan Polytechnic with two additional years of study, preparing them for supervisory and management roles in food service, health care and institutional dining operations.
