Blended Level 2 Outdoor Food Safety
The course meets all requirements of the standard L2 award with the additional content and certification in order to comply with the outdoors environment.
The syllabus satisfies the requirements of many outdoor organisations including Forest Schools, Duke of Edinburghs’ Scheme, Scouts, Guides and other youth groups as well as any food handler.
The course includes the following topic areas:
How individuals can take personal responsibility for food safety in the outdoors, including safe procedures, handling and reporting of incidents and your legal responsibilities.
The importance of food handlers keeping themselves clean and hygienic, including personal and general hygiene, reducing the risk of contamination and appropriate food handling practices.
The importance of keeping work areas clean and hygienic, including how to relate to the outdoor environment, the safe use of appropriate chemicals, cleaning and storage methods.
Identifying the importance of keeping food products safe, including identifying and analysing threats from all types of hazards found outdoors including microbiological and physical, temperature control, storage and preparation.
The course involves the preparation, cooking and hopefully consumption of a simple campfire meal.
We will also discuss any specific individual organisational requirements around bespoke outdoor cooking policy and Risk Assessments.
There are two ways of delivery for this course:
Part 1 (£24.99 pp)
This is approx 3 hours prior learning by means of e-learning modules. These can be completed at any time prior to attendance on the next part of the course. This is a standalone but unregulated Food Safety certificate in itself. See our standard Level 2 Food Safety courses for details on converting this to a Regulated Qualification.
There are no restrictions on the amount of delegates for Part 1.
Part 2 (£40 pp)
This is a 3 hour tutor led course within the Forest environment. It covers all aspects of Food Safety specific to the outdoor environment, directly links to your elearning and will be delivered whilst preparing lunch at the campfire. Therefore a vegetarian lunch is included in the price.
Part 2 can be attended by anyone currently holding a Level 2 Food Safety in Catering Qualification but needs to upgrade the certificate to cover the outdoor environment.
Successful completion of a multichoice exam results in a Highfield Regulated (RQF) Level 2 Food Safety in catering qualification, alongside an East of England Outdoor Food Safety Certificate.
In order to run an in house course, we would need a minimum of 6 learners, and a maximum of 12.
The tutor led course involves a 6 hour direct delivery by a tutor during which all the points at part 1 and 2 above are covered followed by the multi choice exam.
There needs to be a minimum of 6 delegates and a maximum of 12 in order for a closed course to be run and the price per delegate is £70.00.
