Food hygiene courses planned throughout 2024 in Exeter
Published: 12 January 2024
The City Council is providing the opportunity for people to benefit from food hygiene courses leading to an industry-recognised certificate.
A number of Level 2 Awards in Food Safety and Hygiene courses will be run in the city throughout 2024.
The Royal Society of Public Health accredited courses are taught by the Council’s Environmental Health Officers with a wealth of knowledge and practical experience - so there’ll be plenty of opportunity to answer food safety questions throughout the day.
The Level 2 Food Safety and Hygiene courses take place at The Matford Centre on the following dates:
- 6 March
- 1 May
- 10 July
- 18 September
- 27 November
The cost of attendance is £60 per person for a full day’s training. The topics covered include:
- Basic bacteriology
- Food poisoning
- Personal hygiene
- Food contamination
- Food storage and temperature control
- Pest control
- Design of premises and equipment
- Cleaning
- Law and management
For anyone who prefers to learn at their own pace, the Council also provides e-learning Level 2 (£20 per person) and, for managers and supervisors, Level 3 (£125 per person) food safety courses –contact the Council for more information.
It’s a legal requirement that food handlers are supervised and instructed and/or appropriately trained - these qualifications are an ideal way of help people comply with this requirement.
