SOFHT launches new ‘hop on and off’ Level 4 food safety training

The Society of Hygiene and Technology (SOFHT) is now offering Level 4 Food Safety Courses for food manufacturers in a flexible ‘carousel’ format to enable busy senior managers in the food industry to secure quality training without having to leave their business for consecutive days at a time.

Unlike other Level 4 food safety training courses where modules are taken consecutively, often meaning senior staff have to be off-site for up to a week, modules in SOFHT’s five  day food hygiene course will be run one day a month over five consecutive months, (40 guided learning hours). This means that managers can simply ‘hop on’ to module one, get back to work and ‘hop on’ again the next month, saving valuable time and money for the business.

Courses will be run consecutively throughout 2014, so if a module is missed, managers can enrol on just that one module on the next course. Courses can be joined at any point too since the modules delivered on each day’s training are independent of having attended the other days.  It is not necessary to complete all of the modules in a particular order and managers can also just attend one day for an attendance certificate, if a particular module was of interest.

SOFHT’s Level 4 course is designed to meet industry’s need for a high level practical qualification with external accreditation – students enrolling for this course will take the RSPH examination for manufacturers sector specific level 4 – making it ideal for senior food managers, production managers, area managers, hygiene auditors and trainers.
