• CIEH Level 3 Award in Food Safety Management Systems
  
  The Level 3 Award in Food Safety Management Systems will help candidates to implement a food management system, based on the Codex principles of HACCP. Each of the seven principles of HACCP are detailed in the context of a catering enterprise. The controls required to ensure food safety are examined and the use of management tools - such as the FSA's Safer Food Better Business pack - are explored. The assessment will be based on a case study (scenario and a set of questions) that most closely relates to the candidate's own area of work. Study aids will focus on catering practice and guide candidates in implementing a food safety management system, to ensure that hazards are identified and controlled and good food hygiene standards are maintained.
