About this Course​

The number one qualification for food safety in a catering environment.

The majority of learners (70%) who complete a level 3 food safety qualification in the UK do so through Highfield Qualifications.

Written and developed by an exam-writing team led by world-leading food safety expert and Highfield chairman Richard Sprenger, we’re acknowledged and recognised experts in the field, making us the first choice for any organisation looking to upskill its staff in this area.

That’s why the Highfield Level 3 Award in Food Safety for Catering (RQF) is the market-leading qualification for food safety in catering environments.

Designed to assist learners who wish to progress to higher or supervisory level within a food catering business, the qualification is ideal for ensuring compliance with the law and giving learners the opportunity for personal growth and development.

Topics covered include:

  • Ensuring compliance with food safety legislation
  • The application and monitoring of good hygiene practice
  • How to implement food safety management procedures
  • The application and monitoring of good practice regarding contamination, microbiology and temperature control

Why should I choose this course?

This food safety training course is suitable for those working in a low-risk catering environment or for keen home-cooks who would like to understand more about food safety and hygiene.  

Our courses simplify even the most complex of subjects through media and content-rich exercises that motivate and engage learners. Our Food Safety Level 1 course is packed with:

  • interactive exercises/gaming
  • media-rich content
  • interactive 3D scenarios
  • content provided by market leading experts
  • relevant photography and illustrations

At Highfield, we’re committed to improving standards of food hygiene. We produce courses that improve knowledge and, when the knowledge acquired from the course is implemented, will lead to improved levels of food hygiene.

Course duration

The course will typically take 2 to 3 hours to complete, however as this food safety training is hosted online, learners can complete each module at a time and pace to suit them.

Our LMS provides comprehensive reports, including progress reports, so that trainers or managers can ensure the course is completed to suit training or business needs.

Assessment

The course is assessed by multiple-choice questions at the end of the course. Learners must score 100% in order to pass.

If the learner does not achieve 100% first time, they will be taken back to review the module with which they have struggled. They can then retry the multiple-choice questions as many times as necessary to pass the course.

Please note: this course does not provide a qualification itself but does meet mandatory training requirements. If you wish to achieve a recognised level 1 food safety qualification you must sit an exam in one of our Highfield approved training center (you can still use the e-learning as the knowledge element of the training). 

You will receive an electronic copy of your certificate immediately on completion of the course. This certificate, which is the equivalent of the old basic food hygiene certificate, may be printed and used as evidence that you have been trained in food hygiene to the appropriate level.

Accessibility

This course features a full audio voiceover, a glossary of terms and a transcript for users that are hard of hearing.
