HABC Foundation Food Safety

If you work with food as part of your job, or you're looking to work in the food industry, then you'll need training in food safety. This course is endorsed by the Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance (HABC) and supports the legal requirement for any staff handling food to be appropriately trained. It provides an overall introduction into food safety, covering topics such as hygiene, bacteria, food poisoning and contamination.

On successful completion of the course you will receive a HABC approved certificate (in PDF format) to show employers you have been trained to the right level. The HABC endorsement ensures that the training stands up to the rigors of inspection by EHOs/EHPs, Food and Safety Officers or HSE enforcement inspectors and auditors.

You'll learn how to:

• food hygiene
• bacteria and food poisoning
• preventing food poisoning
• food contamination hazards
• food safety from purchase to service
• food spoilage
• personal hygiene for food safety
• construction and design of premises
• equipment for handling food
• pest recognition and control
• cleaning and disinfection
• HACCP
• the law relating to food safety

On successful completion of the course you will receive the HABC certificate to show employers you have been trained to the right level. However, you need to pass the assessment part of this course with a mark of 100% to receive this statement of completion.

The course contains a number of assessment exercises, and to receive your certificate you will need to answer all of the questions correctly. All of the necessary support and learning is provided within the course.

• Protect your business by ensuring you comply with food hygiene standards
