Work-based learning to serve all sectors and applications
“Quality training is an investment that protects staff, business and a company or organisation’s reputation”
Appropriate instruction and training of food handlers in food safety is a legal requirement and all businesses, irrespective of size or turnover, must ensure that both employers and employees have the skills to ensure the health and well-being of the customers they serve.
To assist clients to comply with these legal requirements Jill Taylor Consulting offer a range of food safety training courses either CIEH accredited, or internally assessed, to ensure all are given training appropriate to their job role.
The starting point in food safety, the Introductory Certificate (Level 1) is the recommended qualification for all who work in the food industry, irrespective of their role or industry sector.
The popular Foundation Certificate (Level 2) offers more in-depth training commensurate with the work role of the individual, the sector in which they are employed, and the level of responsibility.
The Intermediate Certificate (Level 3) course is aimed at those progressing to supervisory levels or owners of small businesses who often have responsibility for instructing or coaching their colleagues or for assisting in the management of food safety systems.
The flexibility of the training provision means that courses can be tailored to address the specific systems, techniques and procedures of the manufacturing, retail and catering sectors.
Courses generally start at half a day for the Introductory certificate; one day for the Foundation; and three days for the Intermediate training, however blended learning is always an option – please speak to us to talk about how we can provide training that will suit your requirements. Candidate assessment is completed on the day with multiple choice question papers and in some instances papers can be marked on the spot allowing instant results to be given.
All training can be personalised to reflect a client’s own policies and procedures, that way your own safety messages can be reinforced and remembered. If you would like tailor made courses or if you feel there are courses we should deliver, but currently don’t, we would always welcome your feedback.
