Q. Does this programme meet the new 2006 Food Safety legislation?

Yes - It meets the training material requirements for the Royal Institute of Public Health’s current Level 1 qualification "Foundation Certificate in Food Hygiene" and the "new “Level 2 Award in food Safety in Catering".

Q. Is the Food Safety 2006 recognised by an official body?

The Food Safety Interactive has been awarded a certificate of Quality & Merit by the Royal Institute of Public Health (RIPH). This certification is reassessed annually to make sure that it still complies with the strict guidelines laid down by the RIPH.

By law food handlers have to have training commensurate with their duties, and managers of establishments need to be able to demonstrate that this has occurred. The certificate produced on successful completion of the programme demonstrates this very clearly.

Q. How can using the Food Safety Interactive save me money?

• No tutor costs
• No travelling expenses because the training is completed on site
• No loss of work because the training can be completed around shifts
• No additional staff costs
• No costs associated with refresher training

Q. Who can use the programme?
