Overview

Our Level 1 Food Hygiene Course is designed to give those working in the catering industry practical knowledge dealing with low risk or packaged food, knowing how to safely handle and store food for consumers.

Although many institutions recommend that staff handling food undertake a level 2 food hygiene course, this is not always necessary. If staff have a minimum food handling duties, for example those who serve tea and biscuits, or if the food is low risk such as raw meat, or other foods that will be cooked further down the process, then a level 1 food safety awareness is ideal.

In the hospitality and catering industry, many pubs serve alcoholic beverages and packaged foods such as crisps and nuts. A level 1 course is suitable for this, and at induction, a level 1 course is an excellent starting point when it is intended that staff will progress to a level 2 and even level 3 courses in time.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
