Who is it for?

This qualification is appropriate for anybody wishing to have an awareness of food hygiene. It has also been designed to help the food and catering industries to provide training to a safe level for those who perform 'low risk' tasks such as clearing tables, maintaining stores, 'meals on wheels' and other such similar duties.

It is also relevant to employees working in food factories but not in 'high risk' sections of the plant and people whose work requires them to enter food premises e.g. equipment maintenance engineers, off-site business owners/managers and delivery personnel.
