Advanced Food Safety Training for Supervisors & Managers
Level 3 Food Hygiene & Safety
The Level 3 Food Hygiene & Safety course is designed for supervisors, managers, business owners, and anyone responsible for overseeing food safety systems within a food business. It provides an advanced understanding of food safety management, legal responsibilities, and how to implement and maintain effective food safety controls in real working environments.
This course goes beyond day-to-day food handling and focuses on managing risk, leading staff, and ensuring ongoing compliance with UK food safety legislation.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is ideal for individuals who have responsibility for food safety management, including:
-
Business owners and directors
-
Kitchen managers and supervisors
-
Head chefs and senior catering staff
-
Food safety leads and compliance officers
-
Managers in restaurants, takeaways, cafés, bakeries, pubs, care settings, schools, and food production environments
Learners should already have a basic understanding of food safety, typically gained through Level 2 Food Hygiene training.
What You Will Learn
By completing this course, learners will gain a detailed understanding of food safety legislation and management responsibilities, including how to develop, implement, and monitor effective food safety systems.
The course covers hazard analysis and risk assessment, food safety management systems such as Safer Food Better Business (SFBB), and how to identify, control, and prevent food safety risks. Learners will understand how to manage cross-contamination, allergen risks, temperature control, cleaning schedules, pest control, and supplier management at a supervisory level.
The training also focuses on staff supervision, training, and corrective action, helping managers ensure procedures are followed consistently. Learners will gain confidence in preparing for Environmental Health Officer (EHO) inspections, maintaining documentation, and responding effectively to non-compliance.
Course Features
This fully online course allows learners to study at their own pace through structured, easy-to-follow modules designed for real workplace application. Content is supported by practical examples and scenarios relevant to food businesses operating in the UK.
An end-of-course multiple-choice assessment is included, and learners receive an instant digital certificate upon successful completion. The course is accredited, recognised across the UK, and accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Certification
On successful completion of the assessment, learners will receive a Level 3 Food Hygiene & Safety Certificate, which can be downloaded immediately and used as evidence of compliance during food safety inspections and audits.
