Level 3: Management of Food Hygiene
We accommodate different criteria by offering several different courses at this level. The management level is essential for senior chefs, catering managers and supervisors, but everyone working with food can benefit from them.
The management of food hygiene is the National Hygiene Partnership course and is delivered over three full days. There is a two-hour exam on the fourth day and a project on HACCP must be completed and returned within 28 days of course completion. Certification requires both a pass in the exam and a returned project. It is a very comprehensive course, requires commitment from the candidate and is ideal for catering managers and supervisors.
HACCP Management Mapped to FSAI level 3 is the Food Safety Professionals course and is run over two and a half days. There is a ninety-minute exam at the end which must be passed to achieve certification. It is a practical common-sense course that breaks down the food safety management system and shows clearly how a busy catering business can and must implement a day to day food safety management system to meet all the legislative requirements in a realistic manner. Ideal for senior chefs, supervisors, and managers. Home study between lessons is required to ensure success.
