Food Hygiene

Certificate in Food Hygiene and Safety Management - Level 2

It does not matter how much of a reputation or a customer base your food business has earned. If the food quality is bad, the business will lose both the reputation and customer base within seconds. Food hygiene and quality are two of the main aspects important for a customer and if it is below expectations, the business is sure to plunge into huge loss. Therefore, many food outlets and food processing organisations take great measures in promoting the hygiene and safety of their food, amongst which are the following certain food standards and practices.

The Certificate in Food Hygiene and Safety Management – Level 3 has been introduced to give you a sound knowledge of food hygiene and safety practices and is primarily targeted at individuals aspiring to or already owning a food business. Starting off with modules that will show you how to establish a food business and the aspects that could possibly go wrong, you will move onto topics that will familiarise you with the different types of food poisoning and food hygiene complains that you might encounter in your career.

This course will act as an excellent guide in helping you ensure food safety and hygiene practices within your food business. The other modules will go onto teach you about how to train food handlers on food hygiene and safety and how to win food hygiene awards to maintain a good reputation among customers and thrive in the long run.
