Course Description

Food Safety Matters has developed a series of simple short courses (2-3 hours each) on different food safety and hygiene topics. The courses are specifically designed to be presented in-house. All you need is a suitable person (a person from your own staff with food safety knowledge) to present the training, a projector or big screen and, of course, the wonderful training material designed by Food Safety Matters.

Each training pack contains a learner workbook which explains food safety and hygiene principles in very simple English with fun exercises to entrench important concepts and habits. Also included are a short knowledge test and a certificate of completion for each learner. In addition, each course is accompanied by a beautifully designed PowerPoint presentation packed with images, video clips and real life examples. The PowerPoint presentation can also be provided in video format with a voice-over.

ALLERGEN AWARENESS FOR FOOD HANDLERS

Teach your food workers to be aware of allergens. What are allergens, how do they affect some people and how can we prevent unintended allergens?

Basic concepts in allergen awareness are explained to food workers using simple language and practical examples. The course duration is 2-3 hours.

This course is a great addition to your internal training programme.

Please note that all courses can be customised to include your company logo and company specific information.
