LEVEL 2 AWARD IN FOOD SAFETY IN CATERING
The basic level food hygiene training course has been improved and 
made specifically suitable for staff working in the catering industry. The course requires six hours contact time plus upto 40 minutes for the final assessment.
Although much of the material is based upon the old Basic/Foundation course much greater emphasis is based upon student involvement with exercises designed to encourage delegates to learn from one another.
Examination is still by a 30 question, multi-choice examination although foreign language and oral options are available. Our courses have been a great success, often with a 100% pass rate.
LEVEL 2 AWARD IN FOOD SAFETY IN MANUFACTURING
LEVEL 2 AWARD IN FOOD SAFETY IN RETAIL
Sector specific food hygiene training courses with a similar format and examination to the Catering course described above.
LEVEL 2 AWARD IN FOOD SAFETY IN CATERING UPDATE
A half day food hygiene training course for candidates that already hold the Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering. It is recommended that workers handling high-risk food should retake their certificate every three years.
A replacement certificate is issued to candidates that are successful in the multi-choice assessment at the conclusion of the course.
LEVEL 3 AWARD IN IMPLEMENTING FOOD SAFETY MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES
Primarily designed for managers of small to medium sized catering and hospitality businesses this food hygiene training course will help them to implement a food safety management system based upon HACCP principles.
The one day course can be adapted to suit different businesses. As well as the HACCP process and the development of controls to ensure food safety the use of a management tool such as FSA's Safer Food Better Business is covered.
This is an intermediate level qualification in which the assessment is by a formal assignment completed under exam conditions. Candidates should have obtained a Foundation or Level Two Award food hygiene training certificate within the previous 3 years.
LEVEL 3 AWARD IN SUPERVISING FOOD SAFETY IN CATERING
Previously known as the Intermediate Certificate this Level 3 qualification is designed principally for those who are, or intend to be, supervisors of food handlers within the catering and hospitality industry. Holders will gain a broad knowledge of food safety and food hygiene, enabling them to identify problem areas and recommend solutions.
Holders of this qualification will have the appropriate knowledge and understanding to be able to take responsibility for food safety monitoring procedures, to identify hazards to food safety, take appropriate action in the light of these hazards and contribute to improvements in food safety practice.
The course takes three days and is followed by a substantial multi-choice examination.
HAZARD ANALYSIS and HACCP
A one day (or longer) introduction to the concept and practicalities of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). The content will be based, wherever possible, upon the official Guidance Notes and the Approved Codes of Practice. Information upon where to receive further advice or training will also be included.
A method of recording hazard analysis based upon HACCP principles will be described in detail and delegates will have ample opportunities to carry out practical exercises. Participation is actively encouraged throughout and the course content, while following the basic framework outlined, will be adjusted to suit the needs and aspirations of the delegates.The use of SFBB (Safer Food Better Business) can be included, if required.
Courses may also be run to an approved syllabus and conclude with an examination or assignment leading to a Level 2 or Level 3 Award.
FOOD SERVICE CERTIFICATE
A half day food hygiene training course designed for food handlers that serve food but are not involved in higher risk operations such as handling raw and cooked food. However, any food handlers can be responsible for contaminating or poisoning food so a basic level of hygiene awareness is still necessary.
This course concentrates upon the issues of personal hygiene, prevention of contamination and the need for time/temperature controls. It can be readily tailored to suit the client's operations and, if required, to utilise their existing hazard analysis.
An attendance certificate is issued to all delegates although a simple appraisal, with a certificate of competence, may be supplied if required.
HYGIENE AWARENESS
A short food hygiene training course of two or three hours to raise awareness of food hygiene issues for persons that are not actually food workers (e.g. reception and cleaning staff). The course concentrates upon personal hygiene and general housekeeping and can be tailored for the delegates.
A version of this course has been supplied for a company that is not even a food business - but they did supply packaging to the food industries! Another version has proven popular with low risk food businesses such as fruit and veg wholesalers.
An attendance certificate is issued to all delegates although a simple appraisal, with a certificate of competence, may be supplied if required.
BESPOKE TRAINING
Examination courses can often be adapted or extended so that the food hygiene training is directly relevant to the normal work activities of the trainees. However, there are many instances where specific site or subject training would be more appropriate; and sometimes even cheaper than an "off the shelf" course!. We are happy to discuss your training requirements and can often offer suggestions as to course content.
Domino Risk Management Ltd is approved as a training organisation
by CIEH (Chartered Institute of Environmental Health), RSPH
(Royal Society of Public Health) and HABC (Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance) for a selection of their courses (we are not approved for all of their courses
but would not anticipate any great difficulty in obtaining approval if a
client had a particular favourite). All courses are run in compliance
with the relevant
examination board's requirements and we are signed up to the CIEH Trainers' Charter.
Domino Risk Management Ltd also issues certificates in its own name for food hygiene training courses that have been tailored to a client's needs and requirements. Because these are not accredited to a national standard we include the course duration and the course content on the actual certificate.

CASE STUDY
A consortium of National Health Service Trusts wanted to provide certificated food hygiene training for staff that handled food as only part of their normal employment. Initially, it was proposed to put everyone through a standard Foundation Certificate. However, after discussing their actual needs it was realised that there were other options.
A programme of courses was put together which included the one-day basic Foundation course and a half-day Foundation Update course for staff that had undertaken level one training within the past five years. We also developed a half day Food Services course with a Domino Attendance Certificate.
Even when the consortium closed we continued to supply training to the individual Trusts.
