HABC Foundation Food Safety

Introduction

There's a legal requirement for anyone handling food at work to be appropriately trained in food hygiene. This Level 2 online course meets this requirement by providing fully-endorsed training and a certificate in Food Safety, as required by environmental health inspectors. There are many ways this course can help you and your business:

• Protect your business by ensuring you comply with foodhygiene standards
• Keep your staff and customers safe and well
• Achieve a recognised food safety certificate
• Safeguard your business's reputation
• Avoid the risk of costly and damaging litigation suits

The food hygiene certificate, which is endorsed by the Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance (HABC), introduces food safety, covering topics like hygiene, bacteria, food poisoning and contamination. Comprehensive, concise and equivalent to a 'full day' training programme, the course contains 15 modules, each with a short assessment at the end. As the course is online, you can learn at your own pace and the engaging content helps you retain the information long-term.

And as a bonus, you'll receive the food safety game FREE when you buy this course. It's an entertaining quiz based on video-gaming, to help confirm and test your knowledge of food hygiene.

Who is the course for?

The course is aimed at anyone who's currently working in a role where they'd need to handle, prepare or cook food. It's also great if you're just about to start working in a role like this too. There are no formal entry requirements and you don't need any previous experience or qualifications in food safety to start learning.

For employers, this course will provide a cost effective, flexible and consistent way to train staff, helping to grow your business through improved standards. The HABC is fully accredited to endorse Foundation Food Safety Qualifications in the UK, and this certification provides the assurance that the training meets environmental health expectations.

What will you get from this course?

On successfully completing the course, you'll receive the HABC Certificate to show employers and inspectors that you've been trained to an appropriate level.

When you've completed this course, you'll be able to:

• Understand the importance of hygiene
• How to prevent food poisoning
• Use the right equipment when handling food
• Understand the different ways food can be contaminated
• Understand the law relating to food safety

You'll also receive the food safety game for free - a great additional study guide! The food safety quiz is an optional extra, so you don't have to win the game to get your HABC Certificate.

How long is the HABC Foundation Food Certificate valid for?

There is no set time in law for how long a certificate lasts, but generally accepted good practice is that certificates should be renewed every three years.
