Which food safety level do I need?

I t depends on your role. Level 1 suits those in low-risk roles or new to the industry; Level 2 is the core qualification for anyone handling food in catering, retail or manufacturing; Level 3 is aimed at supervisors and team leaders; and Level 4 is designed for managers and those responsible for food safety systems.

Are these courses accredited?

Yes. These are recognised food safety qualifications, including awards from Highfield, an established awarding organisation. Envico is a booking agent and arranges your place with an accredited training provider.

What's the difference between e-learning and online tutor-led delivery?

E-learning courses are self-paced, so you study online whenever suits you. Online tutor-led courses are delivered live by an experienced tutor on scheduled dates, allowing you to ask questions in real time. The course listing indicates which format applies.

Do I need any prior qualifications to enrol?

The lower levels have no entry requirements and are suitable for beginners. The higher-level qualifications assume some existing food safety knowledge or experience, so progressing from Level 2 to Level 3 and then Level 4 is the usual route.

How long are the courses, and is there a certificate?

These are short courses, with duration varying by level. On successful completion you receive a certificate confirming your qualification, which you can use as evidence of training for employers, inspectors and audits.

Can I arrange training for my whole team?

Yes. These courses suit both individuals and teams. Enquire through the page with your numbers and requirements, and we’ll arrange your team’s places with an accredited provider.

What does a food safety course cover?

Depending on the level and sector, courses cover food handling and hygiene, allergen awareness, HACCP principles, contamination control, and the legal responsibilities involved in keeping food safe.
