Duration 2-3 hours
The next level of food safety and hygiene training is Level 2, which is necessary for anyone who handles, prepares or cooks food in their role. At this level, training provides an understanding of safe practices and procedures, such as safe cooking temperatures and cleaning schedules. Courses at this level also cover how to control food safety risks through things like controlling contamination, maintaining personal hygiene and storing food correctly.
Level 2 courses can apply in a wide variety of settings. Some examples of employees who might need a level 2 certificate in food safety and hygiene are:
Chefs and kitchen assistants
Supermarket staff who work in delis or bakeries
Food and drink manufacturers in factories
Catering staff, including those in hospitals, care homes, schools and prisons
Takeaway and burger van employees
This is suitable initial training for food handlers but not to the same depth as REHIS certificated courses.
To comply with legal regulations we recommend a REHIS SCQF Level 5 or Level 7 certified course for businesses operating in Scotland
