Designed for your industry

All of these level 2 food safety and GMP training e-courses are designed specifically for operatives working in the food industry; manufacturing or distributing ingredients, packaging or finished product. The courses cover food safety, GMP and HACCP and all are equivalent to Level 2 Food Safety and Level 2 HACCP qualification combined into one.

Each course is designed for the type of product that’s being processed, because this affects what the operative needs to know and understand.

A fictional manufacturing site

The graphics used in these food safety and GMP level 2 equivalent e-courses,  have all been drawn – so that they resemble the equipment that’s being used in the industry today. This is intended to help the learner relate to what they’re seeing and being taught in the environment where they carry out their job each day.

Learners will visit different areas in a fictional manufacturing site and meet members of the team who will explain all the key food safety and GMP level 2 equivalent aspects of their area. To learn more about what each product sector includes, you can download a specification from the table below.

Instructor credentials

These courses were developed by an ASK SONIA training partner, Techni-K,  who specialises in food safety and e-learning course development.
