Food Safety Level 1 eLearning Course

Food Safety Level 1 eLearning is an online training course for basic training in food safety. The course is an ideal induction into food safety for staff.

You will learn about microbiological hazards, food poisoning and contamination, as well as the regular sanitation processes you should conduct. You will leave the course safely working with food and in line with the relevant legislation.

Why Take the Food Safety Level 1 eLearning Course?

It is a legal requirement that businesses have their staff trained to the appropriate safety and hygiene training for their role. If you work in a catering environment but are not directly handling the food, this is the qualification for you. If you work with prepackaged food, this qualification will also be suitable for you.

Food safety and hygiene are just important for safety; it’s also important for business and PR. Poor performance in this area is never far away from the news and social media. By being properly trained, you are protecting yourself and your business from the wrong type of publicity.

This course was written by Richard Sprenger, who is a world-renowned food safety expert and author. This assures that the course is made up of quality and useful content.
