The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) Foundation Certificate in Food Safety is designed for anyone working in a food business. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to prepare and cook food that is safe for consumption.
Although online courses are cheap, 'in person' training provides the opportunity to answer your questions and understand more fully how the concepts should be applied in your business.
