Food Hygiene & Safety Training...

The Basic/Foundation Certificate in Food Hygiene has changed

The old Level 1 or Foundation courses have been withdrawn by the CIEH & RIPH

The CIEH & RIPH have changed the recommended training for food handlers. The Foundation Level 1 courses were withdrawn in favour of a new structure.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 gaining a foundation in food hygiene. They are divided into three sectors in accordance with CIEH guidelines.

You can find more information about these changes on the CIEH Website

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.
