Food Hygiene (Level 2)

The course aims to give all staff, supervisors and managers the essential knowledge needed to offer the very best professional approach to Food Hygiene. As most food poisoning cases are caused by simple mistakes, training is universally recognised for its vital role in improving standards of food hygiene and meeting your customers’ demands for safer food. And, because UK law now requires “…all food handlers to receive instruction/supervision and or training in food hygiene matter…” there has never been a better time to act. Our aim is to provide you with the best deal available, therefore registration fee, certification fee and full tutor support is included in the course price for you.
