FOODSAFE Level 2 (Advanced)
Proof of vaccination from the BC Provincial Government website and masks are required until further notice.
This Certificate course is recognized by all Health Authorities in BC and many other regions. All our FOODSAFE courses are taught by Certified Public Health Inspectors with years of experience in both inspecting food facilities and teaching about food safety.
FOODSAFE Level 2 (Advanced) builds on Level 1, which is a prerequisite for Level 2. Topics covered include using the HACCP system to develop a Food Safety Plan, which every restaurant in B.C. is required by law (Food Premises Regulation) to have. A Food Safety Plan describes all of the food-handling procedures of the restaurant and the measures in place to ensure they are done safely to prevent food poisoning.
Other topics related to managing a safe food-service business, such as sanitary practices and pest control, are also covered in FOODSAFE Level 2.
Please note: A valid FOODSAFE Level 1 certificate is required before taking this course. A FOODSAFE Level 2 certificate cannot be issued if the student does not hold a valid and current FOODSAFE Level 1 certificate.
