How to choose

A sensible way to choose

Food Safety and Hygiene training works best when it follows real responsibilities, so start with these three checks.

Start with the role

Choose the level that reflects whether someone works around food, handles it directly or supervises other people.

Add the specialist topics

Include allergen or HACCP training where those responsibilities form part of the person's work.

Keep one clear record

Deliver the courses through The Globe LMS so assignments, progress and completion records sit together.

One category does not need to mean one plan

Different roles can take different Food Safety and Hygiene courses through The Globe LMS. If your requirements cross several categories, browse the full course catalogue or use the course builder for company specific learning.

What the law says, and what it costs

The law in its own words, and the scale of the problem in HSE's. We quote both word for word, so you can check them.

Food business operators must ensure “that food handlers are supervised and instructed and/or trained in food hygiene matters commensurate with their work activity”

Annex II, Chapter XII, point 1, Regulation (EC) No 852/2004Commensurate with their work activity: a kitchen porter and a head chef do not need the same level.
