About the course

The Level Two Food Safety for Catering Training Course is an online course containing interactive learning with real life examples and an assessment which users must pass to complete the course and be awarded their certificate.

Food Handlers and their employers within the catering industry have a legal duty to manage food safety. These obligations are set out by a number of laws which state that food handlers must make sure that food which is prepared, cooked, served or sold is safe for human consumption. Failing to follow food safety standards can cause food to become contaminated, with potentially fatal consequences.

Aims of the course

The Level 2 Food Safety online training course aims to ensure those employees in a catering environment who are regularly involved in the handling, preparation and serving of food are given a thorough understanding of the dangers arising from poor food safety standards, knowledge of the relevant law and legislation and the skills and tools to know how to control and prevent contamination and risk.

Who is this online training course for?

This course is suitable for anyone working in a catering setting where food is prepared, cooked, handled or served. Examples of these environments include pubs, hotels, restaurants, takeaways, supermarkets and retail environments, food and drink manufacturers, mobile food trucks, hospitals, care homes and schools.

Course content

Upon completion of each module of this course, learners will undertake a multiple choice online training assessment relating to that module. All modules must be completed and passed in order to achieve the Level 2 Food Safety Catering Training Award.

1Food Safety Legislation

The first chapter of the course explains what food safety is and why it matters as well as exploring how to minimise the risk of illness and hazards. Learners will identify and understand the key factors involved in maintaining a high standard of food safety and find out about the different legislation involved in working safely with food.

2Hazards from Delivery to Service

Chapter two explores the stages at which food safety risks can occur and highlights common contamination hazards. Learners will understand how food becomes unsafe to consume and explore the common foodborne diseases, their causes and symptoms, and the importance of prevention. Food poisoning is explored in depth and users will learn about cross contamination and the importance of personal hygiene.

3Risk Control (Preventing Contamination)

This chapter focuses on risk management and prevention –  explaining how food can become contaminated, what keeps food safe and the steps that can be taken to minimise risk. Preservation methods and temperature control are explored as well as waste management, pest control, the safe storage and use of chemicals and safe cleaning and disinfection.

4Pests, Premises and People

The final chapter looks at the types of food pests and their risks to safety, where they might be found and how to prevent, manage, control and treat them. Users will conclude the course by looking at how to maintain the correct standards of food safety in premises (including cleaning systems, schedules and maintenance) and will complete the course with a sound knowledge of their responsibility for meeting Food Safety Hygiene Laws and Regulations.
