Why attend:
The course is aimed at delegates who have little formal experience of sensory science and wish to understand the basic principles involved in using sensory evaluation effectively in the workplace to meet their own objectives. The course will also help delegates to understand their own sensory acuity, through a series of practical sessions, and further develop their own descriptive ability.

Course content:

• Introduction to sensory science – definitions, applications and benefits
• Physiological and psychological aspects of perception – the human senses
• Practical considerations for sensory testing – facilities and assessors
• Overview of sensory methodology – which method, when?
• IFST Foundation Level examination

"This course is designed to give delegates a basic introduction to sensory evaluation. A series of lectures and practicals will be used to help delegates understand the principles of ‘good sensory practice‘, the importance of being objective and selecting suitable people for use as sensory assessors. The course will also review sensory methodology, and help delegates select the most appropriate method to meet their objectives."
