QLS (ABC)

  • About This Course
    20% of adults in the UK suffer from at least one allergy. That’s roughly 2 million people who could be at risk from an allergic reaction. If you work in the production, cooking or serving of food, it is your responsibility to ensure that no allergens are found in the food given to an allergy sufferer. You never know when one of those 2 million may walk through your door, which is why it’s imperative that you have an awareness of allergens and know how to responsibly provide food for those with allergies, in order to avoid potentially life-threatening consequences. Allergen Awareness explores food preparation, production, handling and more to give you a comprehensive overview of allergen awareness and food safety. 

    Who is this course for?

    Allergen Awareness is a food safety training course aimed at anyone working, or aspiring to work, in a catering setting. This includes people involved in the production, preparation, cooking, handling, transportation, serving or selling of food. As a food and drink provider, an understanding of food allergies and safety is crucial to keeping your customers’ lives out of potential danger.  

    What will you get from this course?

    Upon course completion, you will understand the importance of recognising allergies in food and the affects that allergens can have on people who are allergic or intolerant to them. You will know how to safely handle, process and prepare food and drink in order to comply with health and safety legislations and avoid allergen-related sickness. As a result, you will be able to keep your customers safe and healthy.  

    When you have completed this course, you will be able to:
    • Acknowledge the importance of allergen awareness and food safety

Excellent course and feedback

I have just completed a Reflexology Diploma Course and also took the exam on completion. The course itself was excellent and in particular I liked the test at the end of each lesson. It refreshes your memory of what you have been studying. The Anatomy and Physiology was the hardest part of the course but with plenty of studying it is achievable. The final exam which you pay for if you want to t...

Great informative course

I have done 3 courses now, 2 on dog grooming and one on human anatomy. All have been at my own speed. The modules allow me to pick it up and do when i have a spare 40 minutes. The end of module questions give me the revision i need to make sure it sunk in. I’m pleased with what I have achieved on these courses and would recommend them.

The best boost for anyone

thoroughly enjoyed this course. There was no rush and I could take it at my own time. I am visually impaired and this has boosted my confidence immensely. I had no trouble with any of the modules. Mostly it was my not reading the question properly, so that is why I made the mistake I did. Thank you for the chance to prove myself as a person in my own right. When people know you have a disabilit...

I think that the units, could have better quality content, broken into easier formatted module titles. Nice comments returned on improvements and context to think in own life scenarios! They certainly give ...
