[Updated: Jan 2026]

## Every year, a staggering 1.3 MILLION food poisoning cases hit the UK, underscoring the critical need for robust food safety. The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) also reported 276 outbreaks between 2015 and 2020, affecting nearly 10,000 people. These numbers highlight a significant, ongoing risk within our industry.

The food sector operates with high stakes. A single foodborne illness outbreak can devastate a business's reputation, lead to costly legal issues, and, most importantly, harm consumers. With increasing global scrutiny and regulations like the Food Safety Act 1990 mandating hygienic practices, robust food safety is non-negotiable for every food business.

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.
