It is an important part of food safety, which starts right at the beginning of the food supply chain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesaferfoodgroup.com\/food-safety-courses.php\">Food hygiene training<\/a> is an important part of creating a good food safety culture in any food business. The quality of a team's food hygiene training is an important measure for EHO checks; see further info on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.food.gov.uk\/business-guidance\/starting-your-food-business-safely\">Food Standards Agency website.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What is food hygiene training?<\/h2>\n<p>Food hygiene training (sometimes referred to as food safety training) is the process that teaches food handlers how to produce safe food. Good food hygiene training covers the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contamination and food poisoning<\/li>\n<li>Food safety law<\/li>\n<li>Microbiological hazards<\/li>\n<li>Physical, chemical and allergenic hazards<\/li>\n<li>Premises essentials and HACCP<\/li>\n<li>Cleaning, waste and pests<\/li>\n<li>Preserving, storing and labelling food<\/li>\n<li>Personal hygiene, illness and conduct<\/li>\n<li>Temperature control and food safety<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reputable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesaferfoodgroup.com\/food-safety-courses.php\">food hygiene training courses<\/a> will offer a food hygiene certificate on successful completion of the course and exam. Beware food training courses that appear to be free - they often spring unexpected and inflated charges on you to secure the certificate after you've finished the course!<\/p>\n<h2>Why is a food hygiene certificate important?<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you are an established cook or looking for your first role in catering, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesaferfoodgroup.com\/food-safety-courses.php\">food hygiene certificate <\/a>is an important part of your toolkit. We look at the top 5 reasons for passing your food safety course before you apply for that dream job.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>1.\u00a0Training makes you a safer worker<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This one should go without saying. The fundamental reason for taking a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesaferfoodgroup.com\/food-hygiene-level-2-catering.php\">Level 2\u00a0Food hygiene course<\/a> is to learn the principles of preparing safe food \u2013 it\u2019s that simple! Understanding food safety challenges such as cross-contamination and knowing the difference between a Best-Before and a Use-By date are really important skills in a kitchen. Having an up-to-date certificate to show you have already mastered these skills gives an employer confidence before you even arrive for an interview and helps you hit the ground running.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2.\u00a0A certificate sets you apart from other candidates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This one is especially important when you are starting out in the food industry, perhaps looking for your very first food industry job. A food hygiene certificate demonstrates that you are genuinely interested enough in the sector to invest in your own training. For an entry level food handler role, you won\u2019t need to break the bank \u2013\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesaferfoodgroup.com\/food-hygiene-level-2-versions.php?utm_source=Social+media+via+KSB&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_id=KSB+Content+sharing&amp;utm_content=Do+I+need+FH+Cert%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Level 2 Food Safety<\/a> (previously known as Basic Food Hygiene) is usually sufficient, and you can buy a single online course for \u00a312+ VAT. BUT \u2013 there are lots of courses out there, and they vary in quality \u2013 make sure you look for a course that is accredited by a reputable body, such as Qualifi\u00a0or<a href=\"https:\/\/cpduk.co.uk\/providers\/the-safer-food-group?utm_source=Social+media+via+KSB&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_id=KSB+Content+sharing&amp;utm_content=Do+I+need+FH+Cert%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0C<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/cpduk.co.uk\/providers\/the-safer-food-group?utm_source=Social+media+via+KSB&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_id=KSB+Content+sharing&amp;utm_content=Do+I+need+FH+Cert%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PD<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3.\u00a0Training gives you confidence to make the right decisions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Roles in catering and hospitality are generally busy and at some point you may be working without supervision. You need to be able to make the right decisions when working alone, and taking food related training courses, such as Food Safety, HACCP and Allergy Awareness, will help you to do that.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4.\u00a0You need to understand your personal, legal responsibilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is the scary one. As a food handler, you have a legal responsibility to do everything you reasonably can to make sure the food you serve is safe to eat. A good food hygiene course will explain your legal responsibilities and those of your employers and supervisors.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>5.\u00a0Good food hygiene helps you prevent waste<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The food industry is becoming increasingly focussed on the environmental impact of food waste. Having a good understanding of food safety practices \u2013 especially fridge and freezer temperatures, food labelling and hot-holding, cooling and reheating methods \u2013 will enable you to do your bit in the war on waste. And for your employer, that means cost savings too \u2013 a big win-win!<\/p>\n<p>Once you've received your certificate, it's time to look for opportunities. There are many routes to explore - word of mouth, employment agencies and local social media groups are a good starting place. Remember to research various online platforms like Jooble UK that offer a wide <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.jooble.org\/jobs-oil-rig-chef\">range of careers for chefs<\/a>. These allow you to set your own parameters, such as location, type of employment and salary range.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesaferfoodgroup.com\/food-hygiene-level-2-versions.php?utm_source=Social+media+via+KSB&amp;utm_medium=Post&amp;utm_id=KSB+Content+sharing&amp;utm_content=Do+I+need+FH+Cert%3F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Food Safety courses are readily available online<\/a>, and can generally be taken in your own time, at your own pace. Good training providers will allow you to sample course content before you buy to check it is right for you \u2013 so perhaps a better question would be: \u2018Why wouldn\u2019t I need a Food Hygiene certificate?\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is food hygiene?
