Basic Food Hygiene - Online?!

Tayus

Hi all,

I'm looking to do my basic food hygiene certificate, Google throws up a lot of sites that offer this online (2-3hours training then a test) Has anybody any experience of using these?

Thanks

I haven't used online for food hygiene but I'm guessing so long as it's accredited it should be ok. I think the CIEH has been the one I've completed in the past, in classroom, and I see they advertise these online.

Hi OP,

It is now Food Safety, not Food Hygiene so you will need to look for a Food Safety Course; in my experience they are 6 hours of learning and a test.

If you are struggling to find a provider, contact environmental health at your local authority, who should have information and possibly a list of local accredited providers.

Virtual College is the site my company use for our Food certs

This sounds quite interesting.

Is the whole of the course and test done online? I had thought about reselling food products I had made but I thought it would be days of going on a course in a kitchen with some kind of exam at the end and someone from the council checking you were doing it right or something

If I were you, I'd contact your local authority first. Ours demand pre-registration of premises and adherence to personal Food Safety as a matter of course. Online doesn't come into it and it's always better to be on the right side of the regulators before you have a problem.
