Culinary & Hospitality short courses

This course is aimed at adults over 19-years-old who are interest in starting out in the hospitality industry or those currently working within the sector who require upskilling to meet current health and safety requirements within the workplace.

The Level 2 Award in Food Safety is designed to help you meet the minimum requirements laid down by the EU (European Union) to work within a food environment.

You will gain an understanding of how individuals can take personal responsibility for food safety and the importance of keeping food safe. You will also discover the importance of keeping yourself and work areas clean and hygienic.

You will learn how to 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. This will enable you to identify how to make changes to catering practice in order to improve the safety of the catering service as a whole.

This course is delivered face-to-face on our Buxton campus. It is a one-day workshop of theoretical sessions and group discussions with our highly experienced tutors, who have worked as industry professionals themselves. You will benefit from their vast experience and understanding of the catering industry.
