Food Hygiene

This food hygiene course gives you foundational knowledge for informal roles involving food preparation.

Food safety courses teach you important kitchen safety practices. This course covers fridge and freezer storage, personal hygiene in the kitchen, and how to handle chemicals securely. You’ll also learn how to use cutting boards and implements safely to avoid accidents or injuries.

If you’re considering employment in a role where food handling is necessary, this food safety course can help you decide if it’s right for you. It can be a stepping stone to an accredited food hygiene qualification to prepare you for the level 2 food hygiene exam.

There are many further study options after this course depending on your needs. If you want to learn other skills for community or volunteer work, you may enjoy a course in holding meetings or supporting children with special educational needs.

Your tutor can advise you on suitable courses if you’re not sure which option is right for you.
