Course Description

What’s It About?

Food businesses must, by law, ensure that all employees receive the appropriate level of safety and hygiene training commensurate with their role and risk. This Level 3 Food Safety in Catering eLearning course meets all legal requirements for supervisors within a food business.

Implementing the knowledge gained from this food safety training course will improve food safety within your business. This programme can provide the knowledge required for businesses that aspire to achieve a five-star rating in the national food hygiene rating scheme.

Who’s It For?

This online course has been designed specifically for those responsible for supervising or managing food safety within a business. It is also perfect for those who have gained a good understanding of food hygiene while working as food handlers and are looking to step up to a supervisory or management position.

In addition, it is ideal for supervisors or managers of a catering business, but it is equally useful for those working within food manufacturing.

However, if you are a food handler working within a catering business below the supervisor or manager level, we recommend our Level 2 Food Safety eLearning course.

Similarly, if you work within a food-manufacturing environment below the supervisor or manager level, the Level 2 Food Safety in Manufacturing would be a perfect choice.
