Food Safety Training Level 2 - Fully Accredited

The Food Safety Training/ Food Hygiene Training Level 2 will give food handlers the legally required certification to work in the catering and hospitality sector.

There are certain regulations from the EU that food businesses in the UK must comply with. Most notably, 852/2004 which relates to hygiene for foodstuffs states that businesses in the food services sector must ensure that staff who handle or prepare food are sufficiently instructed, trained, and supervised to carry out their work. Our Food Safety/Food Hygiene Level 2 course has been developed with this in mind and is aimed at anyone within the hospitality or catering sectors, whether they are self-employed or employed. The material that you will study is suitable for employees working in schools, colleges, or hospitals as well as fast food outlets, restaurants, hotels, kitchens, bars, cafes, or takeaways.
