Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

If you’re a hospitality and culinary arts graduate with a passion for health care and nutrition and a desire to help others while
taking your career to the next level, our one-year Food and Nutrition Management certificate program is what you’re looking for.
George Brown is the only Ontario college that has offered this program for over 20 years. We’ll build on the skills you already have
by teaching you all you need to know about:
- food modification
- clinical nutrition
- physiology
- nutrition analysis
- sanitation
- safety
Through a combination of classroom instruction and work placements, you’ll learn how hospitals, retirement homes and long-term care
facilities provide their patients with the nutritious food and nutrition care.
This program is accredited by the Canadian Society of Nutrition Management, which is necessary for employment as a Food and Nutrition Manager
in Ontario.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
The schedule for the Food and Nutrition Management program is based on a five-day week, Monday to Friday, with classes from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. This allows
students to pursue part-time positions in related health-care fields while in school.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Clinical Pre-placement Health Form
Students must meet all medical and legal requirements for this program outlined on the Pre-Placement Health Form. This may take up to four months. To see those requirements and to download your program health form visit www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement. Students who are unable to comply will be unable to complete their field placement and therefore unable to graduate. All costs, service fees and fines associated with the overall health form requirements are the responsibility of the student. For more information, please contact Suzette Martinuzzi, Pre-placement Coordinator at smartinu@georgebrown.ca or visit www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement
Vulnerable Sector Police Record Check
In compliance with requests from our clinical practice partners, all students in this program are required to have completed an annual vulnerable sector police check. These reference checks are done to protect clientele who are considered “vulnerable persons” and may take up to four months. The majority of students will receive a “clear” police check; some will have a “not clear” police check.
Students are required to keep the original copy of their vulnerable sector police check. The placement agency will be provided with the names of all students proposed for placement at that agency who have received a “not clear” police check. As the university/college will not be aware of the reason for a “not clear” police check, the reason for the lack of clearance will not be divulged to the agency as this information is not part of the check. The agency will then make the decision whether or not to accept the students for placement. This agency decision may require the student to self-disclose the particulars of the “not clear” police check. Students have the right not to disclose the particulars of the “not clear” police check, in which case the agency may refuse to accept them. Students denied placement by an agency on the grounds of a “not clear” police check will not be able to complete their practice placement, and therefore may be unable to complete the program. All costs, service fees and fines associated with the police check requirements are the responsibility of the student.
Failure to have the police check results completed and submitted by the due date, will result for student being excluded and ineligible to participate in field or clinical placement and therefore unable to continue for next semester. For more information in how to apply and obtain your specific regional police service vulnerable sector application form, please visit www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement or contact Suzette Martinuzzi, Pre-placement Coordinator at smartinu@georgebrown.ca
