Course Aim

The aim of this course is to help the learner gain the required level of knowledge and confidence to ensure staff are instructed correctly and that they maintain correct operating procedures.

The results of poor food hygiene and food safety in commercial businesses can be devastating. Apart from the suffering caused by illness, loss of reputation will lead to loss of orders and financial loss, and possibly fines or closure. It is a legal obligation that all food handlers undertake food safety training, which will, of course, help to ensure food is wholesome, but this training must be backed up daily by good systems on the job instructions and supervision.

It is recommended that at least one person at a food establishment be trained to a level 3 standard, especially if they are in charge of staff and their training.
