Food Safety Supervisor Course

Our Food Safety Supervisor Course will give you the skills you need to work hygienically when handling food and to ensure the safety of food during its storage, preparation, display, service and disposal.

The course content has been specifically designed for those working in school tuckshops and canteens, and meets the requirements of Nationally Recognised Training.

Under the Food Standards Code, Standard 3.2.2A, Food Safety Management Tools, food safety supervisors for category one and category two food businesses (excluding the handling of food for or at a fundraising event) must obtain a food safety supervisor certification at least every five years.
