Chartered Institute of Environmental Health Food Hygiene Courses
Well trained staff are vital to any business and these courses aim to provide both practical food hygiene advice, as well as meet your legal responsibilities in regard to training. For people working in a catering environment the Chartered Institution of Environmental Health (CIEH) Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering has been developed to address the new occupational standards in food safety and the recent changes in food safety legislation.
The training programme takes approximately 6 hours to complete and involves a series of teaching sessions followed by an examination consisting of 30 multiple choice questions.
Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering
Under food hygiene legislation those staff who handle or prepare open, high risk foods should receive training in food hygiene matters corresponding to their work activities. As a guide, this should be within three months of starting work.
