This course has been specifically created for secondary school food teachers. It will help to provide a foundation upon which the GCSE specification may be taught.

This course covers:

  • Module 1: Food safety

  • Module 2: Food spoilage

  • Module 3: Food poisoning

Each module includes a short test, providing you with feedback on your progress.

On successful completion of a final assessment, a personalised BNF certificate is created. (The final assessment may be repeated).

The course will take approximately 3-4 hours to complete but does not have to be completed all at once. You can complete the course at your own pace – there is no time limit.
