What certificates can I achieve online for my business and employees? This is a question that is commonly asked within new and established businesses alike. Here at Essential Food Hygiene, we have many online courses – all of which adhere to UK regulations and have been accredited by The CPD Group. In this article, we will discuss some of our most popular courses and provide more information about them.
We offer three core Food Hygiene & Safety courses; level one, level two, and level three – each targeted at different areas within a food business.
Level One – Level 1 Food Hygiene and Safety Course is targeted towards those in the industry who do not have any direct contact with food or the preparation of food but who work in an environment where food is prepared, and acts as a foundation level of knowledge. The level one food hygiene and safety course takes 1 – 2 hours to complete.
Level Two – Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety course is for those looking to take the next step in their education of food hygiene and is for those who work in the food industry and frequently handle or prepare food. The level two food hygiene and safety course takes 1 – 2 hours to complete.
Level Three – Level 3 Food Hygiene and Safety Supervisors course is aimed at business owners, supervisors, and managers as it focuses on the management side of food hygiene and safety. If you are a supervisor, manager, or owner of a food business, this Level 3 Food Hygiene & Safety course is for you. The course will offer knowledge on how food should be prepared, handled, and cooked safely on your premises, as well as how to manage food safety and hygiene best practices among your staff. The level three food hygiene and safety course takes 3 – 4 hours to complete.
Legally standing, you do not need a food hygiene certificate to produce and sell food items although it is recommended by the Food Standards Agency (FSA). In the UK, anyone working with food must be adequately trained or have received appropriate instructions or supervision in food safety matters relevant to their role. Obtaining a food hygiene certificate is the best way to demonstrate your level of training and the ideal way to instill confidence and show customers that you do take food hygiene seriously and have the paperwork to back it up.
If you run any type of food business, you are legally obliged to have a plan in place based on the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles. The HACCP process keeps your food safe from biological, chemical and physical food safety hazards. To set up a HACCP procedure for your business, you must:
