In this module you will learn:
- What we mean by food poisoning
- About the 4 risk groups
- How to avoid cross contamination
- How to reduce the risk of food poisoning
- What we can do to spot a possible hazard
To prevent food poisoning we must first understand how it happens. This module looks at the most common causes of food poisoning and how we can identify other hazards. Prevention is the best cure so this module is aimed at making you aware of the dangers so you can stop them before they happen.
This module will:

Cleaning properly will help reduce the risk of bacterial growth and make the work environment a safer, more pleasant place to be. It is important to use the right techniques when cleaning or it is not as effective as you would like. This module introduces some of the basic methods of ensuring a good cleaning regime is in place.

This final module will give you an overview of your role in maintaining a legal and safe workplace. It will also introduce the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system.
This is where you will apply the knowledge you have gained and, once you have passed your final assessment, obtain your certificate. Don’t worry, though - if things don’t go quite as you wish the first time, you can retake the assessment as many times as you like.
There is a module feedback questionnaire and some useful downloadable material in this section for you to use to help implement your food hygiene practice.
FAQ
No, you should take level 2 if you are involved in the preparation of food in any way. This course is suitable for those who work around food but not directly with the preparation or handling of food. If you could be classed as a food handler, someone who works with raw ingredients or handles open food to be sold to the public for example, then you should take level 2 training.
The Level 1 course will provide you with suitable training to work in a job role that does not require you to handle open or raw food or prepare food in any way. This course is suitable for job roles such as
- Warehouse staff
- Stock assistants
- Kitchen porters
And any similar role that does not deal directly with open or raw food.
A certificate of completion should be enough to evidence that you have taken the basic training. However, suitable training is only part of the inspection, so you will need to understand your other responsibilities. Your local council will be able to offer more specific information on what else they require.
If you are in any doubt about whether this is a suitable course for your job role consider taking a level 2 course.
Yes. Once you have successfully met the pass requirements and completed the course, you can download your personalised certificate. You can re-take the course as often as you like if you fail to pass the first time.
There is no defined point at which you need to re-take your training. The most common re-take period is 2 years and we will send you a gentle reminder in plenty of time.
