About this course
This Level 3 Food Safety & Hygiene course includes both level 1 and 2 Food Safety and Hygiene, as well as the basics of HACCP and the additional training you need to be level 3 trained. As a manager, supervisor or business owner, you have an ethical and legal obligation to achieve high standards of food safety at all times - to protect your consumers, your staff and your business.
There are many opportunities for food contamination to take place, so you need to ensure that everyone in your business plays their role in preventing and minimising the risks. As food handlers are required to undergo relevant training that's suitable for their position - managers, supervisors and employers must understand the relevant training required for all staff, whether it is for new starters or to meet ongoing training requirements.
As well as covering the basics such as food poisoning, cleaning, and all manner of food handling, we also take you through your legal responsibilities, the role of enforcement officers, implementing a food safety management system, record keeping, pest control, waste management, workplace design, and managing staff training.
Check out our Food Safety & Hygiene Level 1 and Level 2 for your employees, as well as our Food Allergy Awareness, HACCP Level 2, and CoSHH training courses so you can equip all of your staff with the training they need.

Easy to follow
Very well srtuctured online course. It was easy to follow as it was divided into short parts. The fact it indluded scheduled breaks really made the course pleasurable (despite the seriousness of the topic). The speakers/presenters did not use excessive body language which made the presentation very good.
