Higher Technical Diploma Courses Bio Campus Foundation offers an adequate number of higher level qualified professionals with technical skills to Agricultural, Agro-Food and Agro-Industrial Chain companies. The value added is companies’ active participation from the design phase until the realization of on the job modules included in the didactic path. In the two years 2011 - 2012 the didactic activity focused on the agrofood chains (Wine – Olive – Dairy industries) activating a path focused on the production, while the next two years, 2012 – 2013, have seen the activation of a path for quality control technician in the agrifood sector. In the two years 2013– 2014 the structuring of the educational path allows students to choose between two different curricular addresses, adding as alternative to the «Quality Control» path a «Promotion of food and wine products» course. Since the two years 2014 -2015 it was decided to put aside the educational paths heading to a National Reference Figure centered on control, promotion and marketing shifting in favor of a more focused attention to productions and processing of agrifood products, keeping the structure providing the choise between two alternative and parallel curricula: on one side the agrifood production and on the other side the agrifood preparation. These addresses will be replicated the next years.

National Reference Figures Each Higher Technical Diploma issued at the end of the didactic path heads to one of the following National Reference Figures: HIGHER TECHNICIAN FOR AGRICULTURAL, AGRIFOOD AND AGROINDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING HIGHER TECHNICIAN FOR QUALITY CONTROL, PROMOTION AND MARKETING OF AGRICULTURAL, AGRIFOOD AND AGROINDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS HIGHER TECHNICIAN FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IN THE AGRIFOOD SYSTEM
