PI150 Food Hygiene

Food Hygiene NCFE

Food poisoning is normally caused by negligence or ignorance, so with more than 79,000 cases of food poisoning reported last year, it is important that your workforce understand Basic Food Hygiene.

Course Description

Food Hygiene

Food poisoning often happens because of a lack of awareness and poor food hygiene. This is why, by law, everyone who handles food must receive training and/or supervision in food hygiene specifically appropriate to the job they do.

This NCFE distance learning Food Hygiene course has been written for everyone who is involved in any industry associated with food preparation. It 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.
