The Diploma in Specialty Food Production was of great help to me. My business producing Italian sausages, La Tradizione, had just started trading a few months before I started the course.
The Diploma course is well structured and managed. I have learned many things that I am finding quite helpful when it comes to producing, packaging, and selling our sausage products.
Despite being only just over 6 months long, the Diploma course is packed with information and learning. I would advise anyone that is looking to start a good business, no matter what stage, to sign up for this.
Applications are now being taken for the next cycle of this Diploma, and substantial funding (64%) is available for eligible applicants. The Diploma programme will be delivered using a blend of primarily on-line with some on-campus sessions (in UCC Cork campus). The Diploma will start on 10th October 2023 and will run on a part-time basis until May 2024.
