12 weeks
Master food hygiene and safety practices essential for hospitality professionals. This nationally recognised skill set teaches you to handle, prepare, store and serve food safely in commercial kitchens, preventing contamination and meeting industry standards.
There are no formal entry requirements for this course. You should have good communication skills, an interest in the hospitality industry, and a passion for working in a kitchen environment. Recommended attire includes leather closed-toe shoes, long sleeves and trousers suitable for a commercial kitchen. We recommend having an interest in being part of a team and a desire to understand hygiene standards.
The course covers one core unit: Use Hygienic Practices for Food Safety (SITXFSA005). Through practical and theoretical training, you'll learn to develop high-quality food hygiene practices, prevent food contamination when preparing and packaging food, ensure fresh produce and perishable items are safe to eat, identify food hazards that may affect customer and community health and safety, and deliver excellent hygiene standards to avoid penalties and fines.
