Outdoor Food Safety in Catering Level 2

QA Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering .....delivered in the great outdoors!

The Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering delivered in the outdoors has been designed to address the food safety needs of the catering and hospitality sector but adding the additions of cooking in the open air!

The Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering course is delivered as per the syllabus. The addition to this training is that we all prepare and cook lunch in the outdoors together and look at the hazards associated with this practice.

As Forest School Leaders, Children’s workers, Scouts, Guides, voluntary helpers, food handlers, this training would be good for you as you have the responsibility to keep children, young people and adults safe. The qualification is designed to give an appreciation of good hygiene practice.

There is emphasis on the 4 Cs (chilling, cooking, cleaning, contamination). Monitoring controls, corrective actions and methods of reporting are examined as part of a food safety management system. It is aimed at those of you who perform a varied food handler’s role with some guidance and supervision.

The aim of the day is to combine the theory of food safety with the enjoyment of cooking lunch in the outdoors developing good practice guidelines in hopefully a fun, interactive manner. An ‘Outline of the programme’ will include:
