Continuing Education Online

Online Continuing Education Certification Program for Food and Beverage Professionals

NECI is known as a hands-on school. How can you do online courses?

NECI is known for its unique approach to educating students through active hands-on activities and course evidence. The online offerings and professional development courses mirror that approach by making learning an active process and incorporating instructional design that places the learning in the relevant arena of hospitality and food service.

NECI’s online professional development courses rely on qualified instructors with real food and beverage experience to ensure your learning is relevant to your career.

What is the Continuing Education Certification in Management for the Food and Beverage Professional?

The Continuing Education Certification in Management for the Food and Beverage Professional is an academic achievement that includes three courses (with a targeted 15 credits) of focused study in management for the food and beverage industry.

When will I get my Continuing Education Certification in Management for the Food and Beverage Professional?

Diplomas for the Continuing Education Certification in Management for the Food and Beverage Professional will be awarded when three of the management-focused courses are completed to academic satisfaction.

What does non-degree mean? How does that differ from a normal NECI offering?

Online non-degree students take traditional course work for personal enrichment, professional development, and certification or to familiarize themselves with the demands of a NECI degree offering. Online non-degree students participate in NECI’s degree program courses without matriculating into NECI’s full online degree program. The demands on both sets of students are identical for each course.

As a non-degree participant, you will not qualify for federal financial aid, but NECI is offering special financial incentives to NECI Alumni for a limited time.

How long will it take me to earn the Continuing Education Certification in Management for the Food and Beverage Professional?
