The package also includes a detailed look at food allergies, what they are, the impact they can have and the 14 food allergens. Each course comes with a CPD approved certificate which you can download and print for your records.
This training pack is aimed at those who want to learn the basics of food hygiene and want to know how to act safely in the kitchen and food environment.
Level 1 may be used as an introduction to the subject for children and people with an interest in preparing food safely for a family. It is ideal for use in schools, in addition to a regular curriculum, and for students prior to taking work experience in a food environment.

The first aid course teaches learners to follow the Resuscitation Council UK Guidelines for basic to advanced life support training. Learners will know what to do if they are first on the scene of an incident, how to assess the situation as a potential danger zone and understand the importance of the recovery position and how they may apply it.
