FSA launches food safety and hygiene e-learning course for schools

This City and Guilds accredited qualification offers students an opportunity to develop important life skills, as well as equipping those hoping to work in the food or catering industry. The course is generally most suitable for students aged 14 and over. The course is free to schools in Wales, although funding is limited. Interested teachers are advised to contact the FSA. Helen George, leader of the FSA project, explained: "The course offers an opportunity for students to enhance their knowledge of food safety, develop important life skills and gain a qualification which is widely recognised within the catering industry."
