Package description

This Level 2 & 3 Food Safety & Hygiene Certificate course satisfies a food handler’s legal obligation to undertake appropriate food safety training and include relevant material for managers and supervisors to supplement this. A sound knowledge of the latest food safety principles will also improve the quality of your product or service whether you’re a self-employed caterer, a chef, a waiter, or any other role within the catering industry.

When working in catering or hospitality, you need to have a high standard of food safety and hygiene training in order to fulfil your role and protect both consumers and other staff members.

Undertaking both Level 2 and Level 3 Food Safety & Hygiene training means you have covered a comprehensive level of training which includes modules on cleaning and disinfecting equipment, safe food preparation and storage, and common pest control, as well as management-specific areas to make sure you’re complying with all of the relevant health and safety standards.

The RoSPA Assured Level 2 & 3 Food Hygiene courses are designed to provide an individual or an organisation with the very latest food safety and hygiene training.

Alongside information dedicated to explaining the basics of food hygiene, it contains lessons dedicated to:

· Food safety hazards and contamination
· Food preservation, storage and temperature control
· The legislation that governs food handling
· Hazards Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP)
· How to assess potential risks in the workplace
· What to do when responding to accident at work

The material is provided in an interactive format that is designed to be engaging and accessible.

A basic knowledge of food hygiene will mean learners progress quickly, but the course is designed for anyone working in the service or hospitality sectors and should be suitable for any staff member to give them the knowledge needed to work effectively and safely.
