Food Safety Level 2

Public confidence in terms of food safety is a major concern for any business in the food sector. With increasing public, media and legislative scrutiny, food businesses need to get it right first time, every time. Ensure your staff understand their role in maintaining food safety.

​

The Highfield e-learning Food Safety Level 2 course is ideal for anyone who works where food is cooked, prepared or handled. Although it does not provide a qualification itself, it does meet all legal requirements and offers full compliance for high-risk food handlers.

​

And along with its supporting PDF handbook, the e-learning provides all the knowledge and understanding required in order for a learner to go on to achieve any level 2 food safety (RQF) qualification, whether in catering, manufacturing or retail, with an approved training provider.

COURSE CONTENT

A range of subjects are covered including:

  • Introduction to food safety

  • Microbiological hazards

  • Food poisoning and its control

  • Contamination hazards and controls

  • HACCP from delivery to service

  • Personal hygiene

  • Food premises and equipment

  • Food pests and pest control

  • Cleaning and disinfection

  • Food safety enforcement

​

COURSE DURATION

Typically 4 - 5 hours

​

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
No prior knowledge is required.

​

WHO IS IS AIMED AT?

Regulations require that anyone involved in
food handling must be appropriately trained
in food safety. The course is aimed at anyone who works where food is cooked, prepared or handled.

​

The course can also be used as part of the on-programme element of the new apprenticeship standards, and can support the knowledge, skills and behaviours apprentices need to effectively integrate

into the workplace.

​

CERTIFICATION

The course is assessed by multiple-choice questions at the end of the course. Learners must score 100% in order to pass.

​

If the learner does not achieve 100% first time, they will be taken back to review the module with which they have struggled. They can then retry the multiple-choice questions as many times as necessary to pass the course.

​

Please note: this course does not provide a qualification itself but does meet mandatory training requirements. If you wish to achieve a recognised level 1 food safety qualification you must sit an exam with a recognised training provider (you can still use the e-learning as the knowledge element of the training). Find a training provider here.

​

You will receive an electronic copy of your certificate immediately on completion of the course. This certificate, which is the equivalent of the old basic food hygiene certificate, may be printed and used as evidence that you have been trained in food hygiene to the appropriate level.
