Level 2 Award in Food Safety (Refresher Course) (face to face)

QNUK Level 2 Award in Food Safety (Refresher Course) (face to face)

The QNUK level 2 food safety refresher course has been developed to meet the needs of anyone working in or returning to handling food in a catering or manufacturing environment. Anyone who works with food, from the storeman to the head Chef, has a responsibility for safeguarding the health of consumers. All food handlers (cooks, chefs, etc) are responsible for ensuring that the food they prepare, serve and sell (or give away) is safe to eat. This qualification is accepted by Local Authority Environmental Health Officers & meets UK & EU Legal requirements.

As this is a refresher course, you must have previously completed a Level 2 Award in Food Safety qualification. Please note that if you’re the owner/manager of a food business and are responsible for writing policies and procedure documents, you will need to attend the level 3 training course.

This course is available in two certificated versions. Please select which you need when purchasing your place on the course.
