This entry-level certificate is suitable for staff members like you who handle food but don’t have supervisory roles. It covers essential food safety practices, including personal hygiene, temperature and pest control, and cleaning procedures. You will learn about foodborne illnesses, cross-contamination prevention, and proper storage techniques.

Our trained and qualified chef will deliver this course face to face.  The benefits of face to face learning include:

  • Hands-on experience: In-person courses offer practical demonstrations, giving you the opportunity to practice food handling techniques and receive immediate feedback from the instructor
  • Direct interaction: Face-to-face courses facilitate better communication between you and the instructor, as well as with your peers. This interaction allows for real-time discussions, questions, and sharing of experiences.
  • Networking opportunities: In-person courses provide an opportunity to network with other hospitality professionals, which can be valuable for your career growth and development.
