Questions and answers
If i qualify for a level 4 food safety certificate then will I be able to train up my team in completing there necessary level 1 and 2 qualifications?
Answer:Hi Thomas Once you have gained the Level 4 Food Safety qualification, you can provide in-house non-accredited training to your team. If you wanted to deliver accredited training and be able to issue accredited qualifications for your team, you would also need to have a training qualification such as the 3-Day Highfield Level 3 Award in Delivering Training. Once you have both these qualifications, you can apply to an awarding body such as Highfield Qualifications to become a centre and trainer
