Foundation Food Hygiene Course [CIEH].

QFT offer the CIEH Foundation Certificate in Food Hygiene course, aimed at all personnel involved in the production or handling of food, shop assistants, care assistants, waiters etc.

The Food Safety Act 1990 plus various amendments, The Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995 and The Food Safety (Temperature Control) Regulations 1995 have placed a great deal of responsibility on the 'hospitality and food' industry to ensure that the food served is not injurious to health.

Breaches of the ACT can incur big penalties, with the possibility of unlimited fines and imprisonment. The defense against conviction is to prove that "Due Diligence" has been practiced.
