How it works
Numbers, sites and any deadlines — an audit, a new contract or a certificate about to lapse.
We recommend the right course and confirm dates, group sizes and a fixed price.
Training runs at your premises, around your rota, with everything we need brought with us.
Learners receive their certificates, and we remind you before anything expires.
Questions
Anything else, just call us on 0151 558 1470.
Is a Level 2 certificate a legal requirement?
Food law requires handlers to be supervised, instructed and trained in line with their work — it doesn't name a specific certificate. A Level 2 qualification is the recognised way to evidence that, and is what environmental health officers expect to see.
Do you cover allergens?
Allergenic contamination is covered within the day, and a separate Food Allergen Awareness course is available where you need more depth.
Can you train during service hours?
We work around your kitchen: early starts, split sessions and quiet days are all normal for us.
