Course Description
What’s It About?
This Level 1 Food Safety eLearning course is perfect as an induction programme for those undertaking work experience in a food business. In addition, it is ideal for anyone with a keen interest in learning more about the basic principles of food safety and hygiene.
Food businesses must, by law, ensure that all employees receive the appropriate level of food safety and hygiene training commensurate with their role and risk.
Who’s It For?
This Level 1 Food Safety eLearning course is suitable for those working in a catering environment that is not directly involved in preparing or handling high-risk foods. In other words, work in an environment where food is handled elsewhere or only deals with low-risk foods. It is also ideal for those working with pre-packaged or wrapped food.
However, if you are involved or are going to be involved in the direct preparation of food within a business environment, you must be trained to a higher level.
The Level 2 Food Safety e-learning course is ideal for most food handlers working in a catering or retail environment. However, if you work in a food-manufacturing environment, the Level 2 Food Safety in Manufacturing eLearning course would be the best choice.
Supervisors and managers must be trained to a higher level. Therefore, the Level 3 Food Safety e-learning course would be the ideal option for this level of employee. Similarly, it is also useful for owners of small catering businesses.
