Food handlers achieving this accredited qualification will have the necessary information to ensure food safety in any size or type of food manufacturing environment.

This qualification has been designed to address the differences between catering and manufacturing environments, and will ensure staff are compliant with the requirement for businesses to train food handlers to levels commensurate with their work activities.

This Ofqual-approved qualification has been developed specifically for insertion onto the Regulated Qualifications Framework, with full support from Improve, the Sector Skills Council for the food and drink manufacturing industry in the UK. It is therefore fully compliant with industry and regulatory standards, as well as being recognised by environmental health practitioners, auditors and third party customers who require the manufacturer to demonstrate that they have trained staff to a recognised level.

This qualification is achieved by taking a one day classroom based course.
