About This Course

This Level 3 Food Safety & Hygiene course is designed for supervisors, managers and business owners responsible for overseeing food safety systems within their organisation. It provides in-depth knowledge of legal responsibilities, hazard control, staff management and food safety monitoring, ensuring that standards are not only understood but consistently implemented.

Supervisors and managers carry significant responsibility for maintaining food safety standards within a food business. This Level 3 course provides comprehensive training on the legal, operational and managerial aspects of food safety, equipping learners with the knowledge required to oversee systems, supervise staff and manage risk effectively.

The course explores food safety law in greater depth, including enforcement powers and the potential consequences of non-compliance. It explains how to design, implement and monitor effective food safety management systems based on HACCP principles and how to ensure that controls remain robust and consistently applied.

In addition to technical food safety knowledge, the course addresses the supervisory role itself. Learners will understand how to train staff, maintain records, conduct internal checks and respond appropriately to issues or breaches. The aim is not only to understand food safety theory, but to manage it confidently and proactively within a real business environment.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is suitable for supervisors, managers, team leaders and business owners who are responsible for overseeing food safety procedures within a food business. It is particularly relevant for those who manage staff, monitor compliance, maintain documentation and interact with Environmental Health Officers.

The course is also appropriate for individuals preparing to step into a management role where food safety oversight forms part of their responsibilities. Learners are expected to have a prior understanding of basic food hygiene principles, typically gained through Level 2 training or equivalent experience.

What You Will Learn

By completing this course, learners will develop a detailed understanding of food safety legislation and the responsibilities placed upon supervisors and managers. You will gain insight into how food safety management systems are structured and how to apply HACCP-based controls effectively within your workplace.

The course covers hazard identification, risk assessment and critical control points, alongside the monitoring and verification processes required to demonstrate due diligence. You will learn how to maintain accurate documentation, supervise safe working practices, and ensure that cleaning, temperature control and cross-contamination procedures are consistently followed.

In addition, the course explains how to manage non-conformances, investigate incidents, implement corrective actions and prepare for inspection visits. The focus throughout is on leadership, accountability and maintaining high standards through structured oversight.
