very good course
little bit hard however very knowledgeable
course was very good
little bit difficult but very good for knowledge
The training is excellent and clear.
However, I found a couple of the questions difficult to give an accurate answer to and hence got them wrong ie – Is it illegal to sell partially spoilt food? It isn't illegal to sell food past its sell by date, and these products might not be at their prime, so I answered No, but apparently that was wrong.
TIME CONSUMING
There is to much stop starting having to keep pressing next

Why is this food hygiene training important?
Compliance
It’s important to comply with the law and know how it affects you and the way you work.
By undergoing food hygiene training, individuals and businesses ensure they comply with legal regulations governing food safety. Understanding and adhering to these laws not only protect consumers from the risks of foodborne illnesses but also safeguard the reputation and credibility of the business.
Food Hygiene Regulations 2006
These regulations set out the basic hygiene requirements for all food businesses, from premises and equipment to staff training and hygiene. Critically, proof of appropriate practice and staff training are required by law.
Based on Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament, the following legislation applies to all organisations handling foodstuffs for human consumption:
- The Food Hygiene (England) Regulations 2006
- The Food Hygiene (Wales) Regulations 2006
