Level 2 Food Safety and Hygiene Course

Why Do I Need This Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate Training?

If you work in the three main areas (Catering, Manufacturing, or Retail) where food is prepared, made or sold, then you must have an understanding of food hygiene and safety principles.  This course is specifically for those who not only handle food but are also involved in its preparation.  Listed below are some examples of professions and industry sectors where this training would be required:

• Food Manufacturing
• Breweries
• Butchers
• Schools & Hospitals
• Coffee Shop Staff
• Kitchen Cooking Staff
• Hospitality Staff

Please note: If you are ONLY involved in handling food that has already been prepared, you need to complete the food hygiene certificate level 1 course.  If you handle and prepare food (which includes manufacturing), this is the training to complete.

What Modules are Offered in this Level 2  Food Safety Course?

The training is presented over four separate modules, covering key aspects of food hygiene and safety.  Several of the module headings are the same as those covered in the Level 1 food hygiene and safety course, however, the content is significantly increased and detailed due to food now being handled and prepared.
