Who’s it for?
The Level 4 food and hygiene course certificate is aimed at managers working in a food or drink environment. This is a higher level qualification and not suitable for online learning. We offer the Managing Food Safety in Catering, Managing Food Safety in Retail and Managing Food Safety in Manufacturing courses – the choice of which exam you sit is up to you. This qualification is also one of the qualifying criteria for those who wish to train others at foundation food hygiene level.
What options are available?
We offer the Level 4 food hygiene certificate as accredited face-to-face, virtual (trainer video with online support) and remote (streamed) training.
Ideally you should already have an intermediate (level 3) food hygiene certificate and a good level of literacy and numeracy. Arrangements are in place for special needs.

What will I get out of it?
