The Foundation / Basic Certificate in Food Hygiene has changed
You are here:
The old "Basic" or "Foundation" courses have been withdrawn.
The national framework for training for food handlers has changed. The Foundation
courses have been withdrawn in favour of a new structure. Level 2 is now the equivalent
of the original "Foundation" or "Basic" food hygiene courses.
The following are all Level 2 courses aimed at anyone working in a catering, manufacturing
or retail setting where food is prepared, cooked and handled. They are divided into
three sectors in accordance with National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Food
Safety.
Which course is right for me?
You should choose the course that fits best with the sector you work in. For most
people this will be "Catering". The courses each have tailored examples
to best fit each of the sectors but all the courses cover the fundamentals of food
hygiene. If you are unsure as to which product to pick you can use our Course Chooser or if you are still unsure
