The questions we are asked

Can I aim to create my own unit?

It is a common outcome, and the entrepreneurship track prepares for it: business model, costing, sourcing, route to market.

Is export covered?

Yes, through international trade: documents, incoterms, logistics chain and foreign buyers' requirements.

Do I need a laboratory to train?

Teaching covers processes, control points and documentation, learned on complete cases and applied afterwards in any facility.
