Level 4 Award in Managing Food Safety (RQF)
From: £958.00 plus VAT
The Society of Food Hygiene and Technology is offering a Level 4 Food Safety Course for both food manufacturers and caterers in a Fast Track format to enable busy senior managers in the food industry to secure quality training without having to leave their business for consecutive days at a time.
Unlike other Level 4 food safety training courses where modules are taken consecutively often meaning senior staff have to be off-site for a whole week, modules in SOFHT’s five day food hygiene course will be run one day a week over five consecutive weeks (40 guided learning hours).
You could just attend one day for an attendance certificate, if a particular module was of interest to you! Please contact the SOFHT office.
Cost: £958 (Members), £1,288 (Non-Members), all plus VAT, per delegate
