Food Safety Level 1 eLearning Course

The course will take approximately between 2-3 hours to complete. The short duration is ideal if you wish to qualify without affecting productivity.

Although you can finish the course quickly, you don’t have to. The course is self-paced and can be gradually completed unit by unit as it suits you.

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.
