Benefits of attending

This course provides relevant information to enable Hygiene Management to meet the ever increasing food safety requirements placed on food businesses by customers, retailers and third party audit bodies. The course has been specifically devised for those involved in managing or assessing hygiene operations/ activities in the food or beverage processing sector, technical managers and those who wish to demonstrate that they have a competent person in charge of their hygiene.  It is recommended that delegates are qualified in Level 4 Food Safety.

This professional qualification is run in conjunction with Holchem Laboratories Ltd and Totrain and is the only nationally accredited course dealing specifically with the management of hygiene in the food processing/manufacturing sector. The qualification is broadly comparable to the level of study required for a Level 4 NVQ/SVQ. 

The course comprises  of a 1 x 3 day module and a 1 x 2 day module - attending all five days is mandatory to successfully complete the course. Assessment is through submission of a portfolio of evidence consisting of a series of 'work-books' and assignments, the latter being employment based.  The work-book is submitted for marking and moderation and, if successful, the candidate is awarded with a Level 4 certificate in Food Processing Hygiene Management by Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance.
