Martin B Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi everybody, I would be interested in taking a course in food hygeine to gain the Level 1 foundation food hygeine certificate. I just don't have a clue where to go, how much etc. Can anybody shed anylight. I am useless at reading internet pages and I am easily confused! Thanks, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Try your local college Martin I did mine when I first started at college (dropped out after 6 months ) A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi Martin, Sometimes you can find food hygiene certificate courses that are being run for free.....I did one (years ago) that was a day-course held at Sincil Bank in Lincoln. Don't know if this is the same as a Level 1 Foundation certificate Sometimes you get them funded through the European Social Fund but you usually have to fit certain criteria to go on those so don't think this would apply to you.....(you usually have to show signs of being at risk of falling into the NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) category for this ) ...definitely ask at the local college. Or ask at school if they know of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Martin - they do them at Stratford College - that's where I took mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I did a two day course with a friend a couple of years ago. It was not taxing at all. You'll walk it Martin. I remember my friend Eileen and I giggling like 2 naughty schoolgirls, because the lecturer mispronounced the word staphylococcus throughout. To be honest I think we knew more than he did. Anyway, it was useful.....and you can add it to your CV for when you apply to Oxbridge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
