Course Overview
The Level 3 Award in Food Safety is designed for individuals who have greater responsibility for food safety, food handling operations or the supervision of food handlers.
Building on basic food hygiene knowledge, the course provides a deeper understanding of how food safety hazards can be identified, controlled and monitored throughout food preparation, storage, processing and service.

The course also introduces important food safety management principles, including HACCP-based approaches, hazard identification, critical control points, monitoring procedures, corrective actions, cleaning and disinfection, pest control, personal hygiene and temperature control.
A key focus is the role of supervisors in maintaining food safety standards.

The qualification is particularly relevant to restaurants, hotels, catering companies, food manufacturing businesses, bakeries, supermarkets, institutional kitchens and other food-service environments.
