This is a supported online learning course which is available all year (50 weeks of the year including non-term times). You will need to be committed to complete approximately six hours of learning, which could be one whole day or split over a few days. Days and times to suit your personal commitments, and the learning is taken at your own pace and you only complete the assessment once you feel ready.

The aim of this accredited qualification is to provide you with the knowledge and understanding of how to work in the food manufacturing industry safely. You will know that food safety is the responsibility of everyone involved in the storage, preparation, processing, packing and handling of food.

If you are successful you will gain a nationally recognised level 2 Award in Food Safety for Manufacturing (RQF) which has been developed to protect customers, brand reputation and profits.
