Introduction
Our Food Handling Certificate (Level 1) course is fully accredited and is an excellent entry-level course for those people starting in the food industry. Being an accredited course means that your certificate (Statement of Attainment) is valid across Australia. This course essentially covers basic information regarding how good personal hygiene practices can prevent food contamination that might cause food-borne illnesses, making sure you understand your responsibilities as a food handler.
All types of people use these skills in the workplace during the course of their daily activities, including cooks, chefs, caterers, kitchen stewards, kitchen hands, bar and food and beverage attendants and sometimes room attendants and front office staff. Food contamination may result in food-borne illnesses such as food poisoning, salmonella and other health risks. A food inspector and handler's job plays a vital role in preventing the above-mentioned things from happening.
