What will I learn?
We cover a range of topics that can be tailored to the needs of your group, including:
- the different types of food our bodies need each day
- how to read food labels
- the role of food choices in Pacific health
- simple and practical ways to enhance the health of Pacific people
- tips for meal planning.
In addition to valuable nutrition tips and skills you will learn, we can also include a cooking demonstration at the end of the session, teaching you how to cook a cheap, quick and nutritious meal.
The course can be delivered either in person or online. A minimum of 15 to a maximum of 30 people are required to run a course. We are happy to discuss a training package to best suit your needs.
On completion of the course, you will receive a Pacific Heartbeat Certificate of Completion.
Please note - a venue which meets our requirements must be organised by the group requesting training.
Course cost: free*
*There may be a small cost for groups who need more than a cooking demonstration for the cooking component.
