TRAIN WITH THE FITNESS PLATFORM
About the FitNESS platform
The concept of FitNESS is based on two pillars:
-
A ✅ validated content (quality, rigor, and openness) covering all essential aspects of food packaging for two levels (novice and advanced);
-
An 🔓 open-source distribution format, which can be read on any terminal and even as a PowerPoint replacement product for teaching classrooms. All interactive and non-interactive WEB documents are supported and can be run with or without a server.
The organisation in three levels novice | intermediate | advanced represents an indication on the level of difficulty. They notify whether recent scientific results are used or not. Novice contents do not require any specific technical or scientific background. Advanced content are specific and therefore more advanced. They can be read in arbitrary order based on your interests and needs. Our intent was not to be exhaustive, but to propose sufficient materials to resolve real problems associated to food packaging: design, compliance, risk and impact assessment... Though the content was prepared by experts in the field, the content cannot be considered authoritative and cannot replace the scientific literature or reference text books.
