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 at least one member who has an up-to-date Food Safety level 2 certificate. The recommended practice is that this is renewed every three years.

We have arranged a course on Saturday 28 September 2024. The tutor will be Kevin Johnson, a fully accredited trainer.

The course will be held at Cresswell House and start promptly at 9.30 am, tea and coffee will be available beforehand. Please bring a packed lunch.

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. There will be a 30 question multichoice assessment at the end of the day.

The fee for the course is £30.00 and your WI can pay the fee. Members are also welcome to take the course on an individual basis.

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. If the session is oversubscribed, we will try and arrange another.

Closing date: Tuesday 3 September
