About the training
This training is the food industry’s most up-to-date version, of the old-fashioned Basic Food Hygiene training or Level 2 Food Safety training.
This food safety and GMP course is designed specifically for operatives working in the manufacturing of raw produce and is delivered on our online training dashboard.
You’ll learn about food safety and GMP relevant to the production of raw produce, such as optical sorting, metal detection and much, much more!
We cover the topics you need…
Our training covers all the specific topics your operatives need to understand, including:
Removing foreign bodies from produce
In the produce industry optical sorters are a key piece of equipment to control foreign bodies. The course explains what they do and how they’re monitored to ensure that they are working effectively.
Using quality attributes to meet specification
Raw produce needs to be treated before consumption, so as long as foreign bodies are controlled, food safety is pretty low risk. This makes quality control one of the most important requirements, so the course goes into quality attribute sheets and how these are used to meet specification.
It’s not just any potato, it’s a potato with a claim!
Integrity claims on pack are now an important quality aspect. Ensuring that the product on pack meets the claims on the pack has to be understood by the operative, so that they know the implications of getting authenticity wrong.
Instructor credentials
These courses were developed by an ASK SONIA training partner, Techni-K, who specialises in food safety and e-learning course development.
Endorsed by subject matter experts
Not only are the courses equivalent to Level 2 Food Safety and Level 2 HACCP – they’ve also been reviewed and endorsed by industry experts in their field.
The Level 2 food safety and GMP equivalent training courses have been reviewed by Professor Chris Elliott, who has reviewed the product defence aspects of the course, Nic Sharman, the GMP standards and Bridgette Clarke has reviewed the microbiology content.
Professor Chris Elliott, PhD, FRSC, FRSB, MRIA, OBE
Chris has kindly reviewed and assessed the product defence aspects from the Level 2 food safety and GMP equivalent courses, which were: Site access; access to the site. External areas; bulk deliveries – protecting and securing materials, accepting, checking and recording deliveries – seals, securing silo access points – silo pipe capping, how to gain access to secure site entrances. Staff facilities; authentic product, whistleblowing. Material receipt and handling; authenticity. Processing; authenticity. Storage and dispatch; dispatching the load, security. "In my opinion, the course is an excellent one for those working in a food manufacturing facility who must understand the importance of why so many rules are procedures are in place. Not to comply with these is clearly spelt out."
Nic Sharman MSc, FIFST, RFoodSM, RPFAM
Based on her knowledge and expertise, we asked Nic to assess our Level 2 Food safety and GMP equivalent eLearning course for Ready to eat products specifically. We asked her to review the content of this course, because as well as the topics that sit in all versions of our course as a baseline, such as traceability, integrity and contamination control etc. this course is one of our most complex – as it includes high risk principles and various CCP controls in its processing. "If every new starter received a comprehensive induction and learning program like this, the knowledge in the food industry would improve and potentially we could see a decrease in food safety issues."
Bridgette Clarke BSc (hons)
Using her specific expertise, we asked Bridgette to assess all of the microbiology content that we provide in our Level 2 Food safety and GMP equivalent eLearning courses. This includes the basic information that sits in all of our 21 versions of our eLearning for each product sector, and the more in-depth content that we provide in our dairy, ready to eat and meat courses. We asked Bridgette to review the content of the courses, because we wanted to ensure that learners still get the required amount of information that is simple and easy to understand for the role they are working in – and that they also get content that is factually correct. "The areas of microbiological food safety covered include all the basic principles at the correct level for operatives. Operatives should be aware of these areas as if their work is not carried out correctly, they can adversely affect microbiological food safety."
How it works
The range of equivalent Level 2 Food safety and GMP courses that you choose, are loaded onto your cloud-based training dashboard following purchase. You’re issued with an admin login and instructions so you can setup and assign the training to your staff. We can get you setup and training the same day.
When each learner logs into their training profile, they can view the courses assigned to them, start training, download their course materials, interact with their training and take their 25-question multiple choice test at the end. They can view their results and instantly access their online certificate which can be printed out or saved.
