  • I want to do some Food Hygiene Training

    All food handlers should be supervised, instructed and/or trained in food hygiene matters as necessary, bearing in mind the type of work they do. The following are recommendations for the level of training your staff should receive based on their job and the type of food they handle:

    • Staff handling low risk or wrapped food only i.e. bar staff, waiters, delivery drivers etc.
      Recommended level of training:  Level 1 Award in Food Safety in Catering.
    • Food Handlers handling or preparing high risk open foods i.e. chef, cook, kitchen assistant servery staff.
      Recommended level of training:  Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering.
    • Food Handlers with a supervisory role i.e. managers or supervisors who handle food
      Recommended level of training:  Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering and Level 3 Award in Supervising Food Safety in Catering.

    The Council holds a list of local suppliers of food hygiene/ health and safety training who are able to offer Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) accredited training in Food Hygiene. 

    We would always recommend taking a course in a classroom based environment as opposed to on-line training if it is your first time. The main aim is that a good understanding of food hygiene law can be demonstrated. 

    We also recommend that refresher training is undertaken every 3-5 years.

    If you are an accredited supplier of food hygiene training and would like your details added to our list please Contact us directly with full details of your business and the courses you provide.
