Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering
We run certified level 2 (or 'basic') food hygiene training courses. The aim is to ensure that everyone involved in a food business, from junior staff to senior management, possess skills and knowledge to prevent food poisoning. This can give you a more efficient and cost effective business.
The course is specifically aimed at all food handlers employed in production, manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, catering and retail outlets. The training will also benefit managers, supervisors and proprietors of food businesses.
