This Level 3
qualification is designed for those who are, or intend to be, supervisors in any
part of the food and drink manufacturing sector.
It will
provide a knowledge and understanding of food safety principles and practices,
and will enable candidates to identify problem areas and to recommend
solutions.
The aim of
this qualification is to provide a broad knowledge of food safety and food
hygiene. Holders of this qualification will have the appropriate knowledge and
understanding to be able to take responsibility for food safety monitoring
procedures, to identify hazards to food safety, take appropriate action in the
light of these hazards and contribute to improvements in food safety
practice.
The qualification is firmly based on the National Occupational Standards
developed by Improve, the Sector Skills Council for the food and drink
manufacturing industry, and conforms to the qualification template developed by

of 45 multiple-choice questions.
