Course Overview

This Level 3 Supervising Food Safety course covers those aspects of the supervision of food hygiene and safety which enable candidates to identify problem areas and to recommend solutions. The course is firmly based on Industry Standards developed by People 1st, the Sector Skills Council for the hospitality industry, and conforms to the qualification template developed by awarding bodies under the guidance of the Sector Skills Council for Hospitality, Leisure, Travel and Tourism, People 1st.

The Level 3 course is aimed at those who are supervising other staff within a food business - whether that be catering, manufacturing or food retailing. We would recommend that all food premises should have at least one person trained to Level 3 - particularly if they are in charge of other staff and are responsible for the training of those staff. This course will provide a deeper understanding of Food Safety than Level 2 and will also consider some of the implications of poor food hygiene.

The aim of this course is to provide a broad knowledge of food safety and food hygiene. Learners will be provided with the knowledge and understanding to be able to take responsibility for food safety monitoring procedures, to identify food safety hazards, take appropriate action in the light of these hazards and contribute to improvements in food safety practice.

The training and test usually take approximately 8 to 9 hours to complete (depending on learning speed). Learners are required to achieve a 75% pass mark, and if necessary, may resit the test at no extra cost, having revisited the training material. As an e-learning module you can complete this training in convenient stages and revisit whenever you wish. The system will record your progress throughout.

Upon completion of this online training material learners will sit an online test and on successful completion, will receive a Level 3 City & Guilds Accredited Certificate in Supervising Food Safety.

Certificate will be posted first class same working day if successfully completed before 12:00 noon Monday-Friday. If completed after noon it will be posted next working day. Weekend completers will have their certificates posted on Monday.

Produced by Virtual College in association with Food Safety experts "Verner Wheelock Associates" and we have made every effort to make the training friendly, understandable and as down to earth as possible.

On completion of this course learners will have the appropriate knowledge and understanding to be able to:

  • Take responsibility for food safety monitoring procedures
  • Identify food safety hazards
  • Take appropriate action in the light of these hazards
  • Contribute to improvements in food safety practices
