"Outstanding quality and merit as a self study learning package for the Royal Institute's Foundation Certificate in Food Safety"

The Royal Institute of Public Health

The software consists of 15 modules. Each module is self-contained and takes between 20 and 40 minutes to complete. The navigation buttons, which are constantly displayed during training, allow the learner to easily and intuitively move forwards and backwards throughout the content, repeating any topic as often as they wish. At any time during the training, the user is able to access the glossary or help pages and then return to the same place in the training programme.

Whenever new information or facts are introduced, they are followed by an exercise or simulation to encourage the learner to apply the new knowledge in an appropriate and familiar context. This is highly effective at moving information into long term memory and promotes efficient recall by encouraging the learner to associate the new knowledge with actual work activities and scenarios.

These interactions are a vital part of the learning process and prepare the learner for the assessments that follow each module. Hints are available if required and a mistake is made, constructive feedback is given, followed by an opportunity to try again.

"A very useful and efficient food safety training tool - I now have more time to devote to other training needs"

Joseph Vella, Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza, Malta

To complete each module, the learner must pass the end of module assessment. The assessment consists of 5 challenging questions, each with several permutations. All five questions must be answered correctly to pass the course (70 questions in total). To successfully pass the test, the learner will have to pay close attention to the contents of each module. If a question is answered incorrectly, the learner has the opportunity to try again before having to repeat the module.

This approach ensures that all members of staff who complete the training programme have the knowledge and understanding they need to handle, prepare and serve food safely. No matter how many users are using the system, Food Safety Foundation will always keep track of each individual's progress.

Food Safety Foundation offers the complete Level 1 training solution and with induction, Level 1 and refresher training, can usually be implemented within existing training budgets.

"… a marvelous tool for companies to allow individuals to train at their own pace and whenever they have a spare half hour or so. I would be happy to recommend Food Safety Foundation and would think most food companies would jump at the opportunity to have such a good training tool"

Joe Laverick, Health & Saefty Advisor, Business Link Devon & Cornwall

Food Safety Foundation delivers high quality training into the workplace at a time and place to suit both the learner and the business. The design is characterized by short lessons or modules that include and introduction, definitions, examples and practice exercises. Video animation, pictures and complete interactive narration bring the subject matter to life, and make the learning interesting, stimulating and highly effective.

"Food Safety Foundation is an excellent flexible learning package allowing training to take place at times that are less disruptive to production requirements"

Michele Symmes, Training Coordinator, Grampian Country Food Group

The Royal Institute of Public Health, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and the Royal Society for the Promotion of Health accept successful completion of Food Safety Foundation as a pre-requisite to attending their level one examinations at a registered center
