Food Hygiene Course – Level 2

If your WI serves food either to members or visitors or because you cater for others it is strongly advised that you have one member who has an up-to-date Food Safety level 2 certificate. The recommended practice is that this is renewed every three years.

Due to Covid, that time is overdue since the Federation organised the last course and so we have arranged courses on Friday 25 and Saturday 26 February 2022. The tutor will be Kevin Johnson, a fully accredited trainer.

The courses will be held at Cresswell House and start promptly at 9.30 am, tea and coffee will be available beforehand. The course includes: Topic A – Introduction to Food Safety; Topic B – Legislation; Topic C – Food Safety Hazards; Topic D – Taking Temperatures Topic; E – Refrigeration, Chilling, Holding of Food Topic; F – Cooking, Hot Holding & Reheating Food; Topic G – Food Handlers; Topic H – Principles of Safe Food Storage; Topic I – Cleaning; Topic J – Food Premises and Equipment.

The fee for the course is £30.00 and your WI can pay the fee for one member to take the course if you do not have someone who is already appropriately qualified. Members are also welcome to take the course on an individual basis if there are spare places.

It is an expectation that all WIs will have at least one member who has a current Food Safety certificate unless your Institute never serves food to members or guests. It is particularly important if your WI is ever involved in catering for local events or anything outside of normal meetings. The Food Standards Agency is currently looking at guidelines for catering done on a voluntary basis e.g., at charity events and this is your opportunity to be prepared!

For further details please see the booking form overleaf. If the sessions are oversubscribed, we will try and arrange another.

Closing Date: Monday 7 February 2022
