Candidates achieving this accredited qualification will gain the knowledge required to manage and supervise food safety in all sizes or types of food manufacturing environment.

The hazards and necessary controls in manufacturing environments often differ from those found in catering, and so it is essential that qualifications address this and focus on relevant areas. This qualification addresses these differences and will ensure that businesses are compliant with the requirement to train food handlers to levels commensurate with their work activities.

The qualification will be recognised by enforcement officers, auditors from all the recognised auditing schemes and customers who need evidence that the manufacturer has trained staff to a recognised level.

This qualification is achieved by completing a quiz book (6-8 hours) followed by a two day classroom based course.
