CIEH
FOUNDATION CERTIFICATE
IN FOOD HYGIENE UPDATE
Both
the Food Standards Agency and the ‘Industry Guides to Good Hygiene Practice’
endorse refresher training. As
such the CIEH recommend refresher training every 3 years and has developed
a new CIEH Foundation Certificate in Food Hygiene Update refresher qualification
to help food handlers update their knowledge and comply with best practice
in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
The
CIEH Foundation Certificate in Food Hygiene Update is a short 2 to 3
hour programme which is open to holders of the CIEH Foundation Certificate
in Food Hygiene or equivalent qualifications from other awarding bodies. Successful candidates will be re-certified
with a full, but current, CIEH Foundation Certificate in Food Hygiene
Update. |
TOPIC AREARS COVERED
v
HAZARDS – dealing with the problems that are at the heart of food safety.
v
CONTROLS – dealing with issues of prevention and controls.
v
LEGAL COMPLIANCE – dealing with the principles of food safety legislation and key legal
requirements.
The course programme focuses on a hazard analysis approach
and is in three modules: hazards,
controls and the law. It
aims to reinforce good hygiene principles and provides students with
the opportunity of putting their knowledge into practice through eleven
practical exercises.
The qualification is designed to take place in half
a day, lasting between two and three hours plus examination time, however,
as each of the three modules is designed to last 45 minutes and an hour,
the programme could easily be scheduled to take place over several days. Assessment is by means of an objective test
of thirty questions. |
