About Us

The Food Accent Institute is the dedicated education and professional training division of SheJo Consultancy — built to close the gap between food safety regulation and the real, working conditions of the industries that feed the Caribbean and beyond.

 
Our Story

Built by consultants who saw the gap firsthand.

Training Designed for Every Food Industry Professional

Before FAI was a training institute, SheJo Consultancy was already in the field, working directly with seafood processors, food manufacturers, hoteliers, and regulators across The Bahamas. That work made one thing clear: the businesses most exposed to food safety risk were rarely short on regulation to follow. They were short on practical, accessible training that matched the pace and reality of their operations.

The Food Accent Institute was created to close that gap,  not as a generic online course library, but as a NAECOB-registered institution built specifically around the food industry: seafood, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, and the regulators who oversee them all.

Today, FAI delivers certification and workforce training that is practitioner-led, regionally grounded, and flexible enough to meet learners wherever they are — on the plant floor, in a hotel kitchen, or studying from home.
