Description
The main reason for the low food rating is the failure to maintain proper hygiene, which affects the customer trust, delivery platform visibility, and business reputation. The Improving Food Hygiene Rating Training from High Skills Training explains the principles of food hygiene, inspection processes, and scoring criteria, ensuring businesses can achieve and maintain high hygiene ratings.
This comprehensive online training is designed to help food business owners, managers, supervisors, and kitchen staff understand and implement the requirements of the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS). It is also useful for new food businesses and home sellers who need to understand inspection rules, fix problems, and keep their kitchen safe and compliant.
Additional sections cover cleaning, waste management, and pest control, including effective sanitising, proper disposal, and identifying infestations. Food premises design and equipment standards, temperature control, and workflow management are also explained.
Learners will also explore food storage, preparation, and processing, including segregation of raw and cooked items and adherence to use-by and best-before dates. Documentation and management systems are included, covering HACCP, SFBB toolkit, cleaning schedules, allergen documentation, and traceability.
This course also covers staff supervision, legal training requirements (Level 2 & 3), CPD, post-rating improvement strategies, and common pitfalls, ensuring consistent compliance and high FHRS ratings across food operations.
To check your understanding of addiction recovery, you will have access to a retakeable quiz.
