Description

By law, food businesses must ensure that all staff receive the appropriate level of safety and hygiene training relevant to their role and associated risks.

This online course serves as an excellent induction programme for those undertaking work experience in a food business and for anyone interested in learning the basic principles of food safety and hygiene.

The course is particularly suited for individuals working in a catering environment who are not directly involved in the preparation or handling of high-risk foods but work in areas where food is handled elsewhere or deal only with low-risk foods. It is also ideal for those working with pre-packaged or wrapped food.

Derwent Training’s Food Safety Level 1 course, written by one of the world’s leading food safety experts, Richard Sprenger, is accredited by the UK’s foremost organisation for regulated food safety qualifications.
