Professional Development
As the leading professional qualifying body for food science and technology in
Europe, IFST is responsible for maintaining advanced standards of

and professional practice amongst food scientists and technologists.
Like all professionals it is essential for food scientists and technologists
to
keep their skills and knowledge constantly updated. We encourage our members to
continue their professional education and development throughout their careers,
eg through Continuing Professional Development.
IFST offers a number of education and training opportunities through its events
and publications. IFST also operates accreditation schemes for
particular specialisms and professional practice.
