Food Science certificate from ACF … a trivial pursuit? Or worth it?
Can't find a straight answer to this here or elsewhere, so …. Time to ask the question myself 🤔
I'm looking to transition from R&D in cosmetics, to R&D in the food & beverage / ingredients industry. I have a B.A. in chemistry, and close to 10 years of experience in cosmetic labs. But I realize more and more, my true passion is food. I'm accumulating knowledge on the side but nothing that I can actually speak to on my resume.
So, I came across the ACF which offers a specialized certificate in Food Science. https://www.acfchefs.org/ACF/Education/Specialized_Certificates/SpecializedCertificateFoodScience/ACF/Education/ProDev/Specialized_Certificates/FoodScience/
Has anyone taken this course? Thoughts/opinions? Does it help with employment opportunities in Food & Beverage R&D?
