This study evaluates the impact of educational video capsules on the success of Practical Work (TP) in Nutrition and Food Technology at the Akodéha Agricultural Technical High School in Benin. In response to challenges related to infrastructure and professional competitiveness, the experiment compared a control group (traditional teaching) with an experimental group (using video capsules). Quantitative results reveal a significant superiority of the experimental group (+30.17 points on average, or +1.68/10), with particularly marked gains in technical mastery (+6.16 pts), analysis (+6.25 pts), and hygiene/safety (+5.00 pts). Qualitative feedback confirms better comprehension, autonomy, and engagement. The video capsules, by optimizing cognitive load (Mayer\'s theory) and enabling asynchronous review, improve the acquisition of technical skills in a resource-limited context. This innovative pedagogical strategy proves crucial for aligning training with the requirements of Benin\'s highly competitive job market.
