Level 3 Award in Food Safety Supervision for Manufacturing (RQF)

The hazards and necessary controls in manufacturing environments often differ from those found in catering, and so it is essential that qualifications address this and focus on relevant areas. This qualification addresses these differences and will ensure that businesses are compliant with the requirement to train food handlers to levels commensurate with their work activities. The qualification will be recognised by enforcement officers, auditors from all the recognised auditing schemes and customers who need evidence that the manufacturer has trained staff to a recognised level. This qualification is achieved by completing a quiz book (6-8 hours) followed by a two day classroom based course. It is assessed by a multiple-choice examination, where the candidates must answer atleast 40 out of 60 questions correctly. A merit is awarded to candidates scoring 50 or more. The examination will take a maximum of 2 hours to complete.
