About this Course​

Around 70% of all learners in the UK who achieve a level 2 food safety catering qualification qualify through Highfield. We’ve been regarded as food safety experts for over 30 years, largely due to our company Chairman Richard Sprenger writing some of the UK’s best-selling food safety training books.

Combining Richard’s expertise with our knack for exceptional qualification development, our Level 2 Food Safety for Catering qualification has become one of the UK’s most popular regulated qualifications, and is achieved by thousands of learners each year, who are looking for employment in the catering sector.

By achieving this qualification, your learners will ensure they have the necessary knowledge and skills to understand the principles of cleanliness and hygiene, as well as keeping food products safe.

This qualification can be assessed in a classroom environment, or remotely through our Qualify at Home service. Its delivery can also be supported through Highfield training resources and e-learning (written in line with the key learning outcomes of this qualification). We also offer free mock examination papers for this qualification to help prepare your learners for their final assessment.
