Culinary & Hospitality short courses

This programme is aimed at adult learners who either: 

• Have an interest in starting out in the hospitality industry including those that are unemployed, job seekers and contacts through the local job centres. 
• Those that are currently working within the hospitality industry, that need upskilling to meet current health and safety requirements within the workplace.  

This level will suit you if you already work in a job where food safety is important – probably in a role where you are supervised. You want to increase your food safety knowledge and take on more responsibility. 

The costs associated with poor food safety are both financial and social, and can affect both employers and employees. You can measure the performance of your catering operation by carrying out an audit of the documentation, practices and procedures which occur during the delivery, storage, preparation, cooking, cooling and serving of hot and cold food.  

The Award in Food Safety in Catering can help you meet the minimum requirements laid down by the EU (European Union) to work within a food environment. 

You will complete one core unit to achieve this qualification: 

• Food Safety in Catering  

This qualification cover all aspects of food hygiene and safety which enable you to identify problem areas and to recommend solutions. The qualification is firmly based on the Level two National Occupational Standards developed by People 1st, the Sector Skills Council for the hospitality industry 

The qualification at Level 2 will provide you with knowledge of the parameters of basic food safety practices as relevant to the catering industry. Achievement of the qualification at level 2 will enable you to identify how to make changes to catering practices in order to improve the safety of the catering service as a whole. 

Level 2 Award in Food Safety

This qualification will allow you to gain the basic skills required to start your career in Hospitality. You can also progress onto a level 1 or 2 Culinary qualification.

After a day’s workshop you will be supported with revision questions and then will sit a written paper to achieve your qualification.
