Food Hygiene legislation requires all food handlers to receive appropriate supervision, and be instructed and/or trained in food hygiene, to enable them to handle food safely.
The course is quality checked annually by the Royal Institute of Public Health for use as a self-study course at level 2 (formerly known as Foundation or Basic Food Hygiene) and on completion will ensure that food handlers can work safely and legally.
Both the learning material and the assessment are accessed on-line providing you with total flexibility. You will be able to use the course instantly and can then learn at a pace, place and time to suit you.
The Virtual College Learning Management System will track your progress throughout, recording the information onto your learner record, allowing you to fully understand how you are progressing. This also means you do not have to undertake the learning all at once, because your progress has been tracked you can revisit the material as often as you require.
The on-line training material is approved annually by the Royal Institute of Public Health, so you can be certain that all of your legal requirements have been met and you are able to work and handle food safely. Your Virtual College Certificate will be mailed out to you within 10 days of you completing the course.
