Businesses have a duty to their customers to produce food that is safe for consumption.

There are one million cases of food poisoning in the UK each year.

How much can you remember from when you did your original course?

From our experience, people remember very little one year later - let alone longer than that

The Food Standards Agency says that 'Food business operators are required by law, to ensure that food handlers receive appropriate supervision and instruction/training in food hygiene in line with their work activity and should enable them to handle food safely’.

Our QA Level 2 Award in Food Safety (Refresher) (RQF) is a nationally accredited qualification especially suitable for people working in, or planning to work in, the food retail industry, and complies with the training regulations.

Doing this Ofqual regulated, nationally accredited course ensures that nothing of importance is left out of your memory, and that you are able to produce or sell food that is fit for human consumption
