Who should take this course?

The Level 3 Supervising Food Safety in Catering Course is designed for supervisors and managers.

Food handlers looking for basic food safety training are recommended to take our Level 2 Food Hygiene for Catering Course.

The course is aimed at those responsible for developing and controlling food safety management systems in their workplace. This course covers wide-ranging legislative and practical aspects of food management in catering premises and identifies potential hazards to food safety. The course is designed to allow learners to be able to effectively apply this knowledge in their place of work.

By having supervisors and managers trained in Level 3 Supervising Food Safety, this will help companies who wish to attain a 5* rating in the national hygiene Scores on the Doors rating system. Environmental Health Officers now advise that all supervisors and managers in catering premises are trained to the Level 3 Standard.

The Level 3 course provides a detailed study of each stage and principle of the HACCP food safety management system. Supervisors and managers taking this course will learn how to practically implement the HACCP system at their own place of work.

Furthermore, this course provides comprehensive information on the Food Standards Agency Safer Food Better Business pack (Cook Safe in Scotland / Safe Catering in Northern Ireland).
