Online Level 3 Food Hygiene and Safety in Catering Course

Program Description
This training program equips catering supervisors, restaurant managers, head chefs, and business owners with the essential knowledge required to manage food safety protocols effectively. Participants examine critical supervisory responsibilities, statutory hygiene compliance, and the implementation of robust food safety management systems across commercial kitchens, catering venues, and hospitality premises.
The curriculum spans 13 specialized modules covering key operational subjects, including microbiological hazards, chemical contamination, and food-borne illnesses. Learners study food preservation techniques, temperature control, workplace and equipment design, pest management, cleaning standards, and the detailed development and maintenance of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) systems under UK and EU food safety legislation.
Delivered through a flexible, self-paced e-learning platform, the course enables participants to study at their own speed while automatically tracking module progression. Assessment consists of a 30-question multiple-choice examination requiring a 75 percent pass mark, after which learners receive both an instant digital certificate and a posted, seal-embossed physical certificate accredited by RoSPA and certified by CPD.
