The Food Handling Certificate (Level 1) course is designed for people who handle, prepare or serve food as part of their job. It can be taken as a stand-alone course to meet the Australia-wide legal requirement that all food handlers are trained in food safety or to progress through to becoming a Food Safety Supervisor.
The content of the course ensures that individuals are aware of their responsibilities as a food handler and provides comprehensive information about personal hygiene and best practice for ensuring food safety. At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to identify food safety hazards in the workplace and know what to do if a food safety incident occurs.
