ARETE QUALITY ALLIANCE FAQ’S

Answer all of your questions

Does my training need to be accredited?

Absolutely not, The Food Safety Act 1990 provides the framework for all food legislation in the United Kingdom. Your legal requirement is to ensure that you have taken all necessary steps to cook, prepare and serve food in a safe manner. The business owners are ultimately responsible for the conduct of their employees, to ensure compliance with the Food Safety Act, as it is vital that employees are given the correct training. There is no formal law or requirement for the training to be accredited.

Is there a time limit in which I must complete the course?

The time only starts once a course has been started e.g. One single candidate will have 12 months to complete the course, however, if you are a business bulk buyer, the courses have no life span until you distribute the course to one of your staff.

Do I have to complete the course in one go?

Absolutely not, as long as you remember your logins you can jump in and out of the courses on any internet enabled device anytime.
