Certificate for 'husholdningslærer'
This is a certificate from the late 1980s (Ankerhus Seminarium) with the title 'Bevis for Husholdningslærereksamen' but I am a bit reluctant to use the term 'housekeeping'. Courses include: biologi, mikrobiologi med levnesmiddelhygiejne, biokemi, kemi, kostvurdering/kostplanlægning, diætetik, madlavningslære, konsumentkundskab, samfundsfag med sociologi, bolig- og materialekundskab, fysik, pædagogik, psykologi, undervisningslære - and more, so it is quite comprehensive.
What about 'dietician and nutritional instructor' or 'dietetics and nutrition instructor'?? The student's thesis involved dietary advice to professional athletes.
I realize that 'husholdningslærer' may be closer to 'housekeeping instructor/teacher' but if someone shows a diploma/certificate with that title when applying for a job in the 21st century, I'm afraid it leaves a very old-fashioned impression.
Any ideas? My deadline is tight (9 pm PST Thursday), so any input overnight (PST) would be greatly appreciated!!
TAK :)
