Nutrition and Cooking Skills Exam: Another great result!

The results of the 2025 first Nutrition and Cooking Skills Certification Secondary Exam (practical exam) were announced the other day, with 9 students (10 candidates) from our university passing the Grade Pre-1 exam and 19 students (22 candidates) passing the Grade 2 exam. The pass rates were 90% for Grade Pre-1 and 86.4% for Grade 2. These results far exceed the national averages of 83.3% and 83.3%, respectively.

The benefits of this qualification, such as being able to objectively prove one's ability and being able to include it on one's resume when looking for a job, also motivate students to take the exam, and many students take the challenge every year.

On November 15th, the second first-stage exam (knowledge test) of the Home Cooking Skills Certification Examination was held, with 10 students (first-year students) taking the Level 3 exam. We hope to see continued good results.
