Can I apply for a food establishment licence before attending the Food Safety Course Level 1?


Updated by SFA
All food handlers are to attend and pass the Food Safety Course Level 1, in order to be registered with SFA as a registered food handler. A licence will not be issued if the food handler has not passed the Food Safety Course Level 1. If an applicant has only 1 food handler at the point of licence application, the food handler must have passed the course before a licence can be issued. If an applicant has 3 food handlers and 1 has yet to attend the course, SFA will issue the licence based on the registration of 2 food handlers working at the premises. The other food handler is not allowed to work until he has passed the course. The applicant is required to register with SFA the remaining/new food handler before the food handler is deployed to work in the premises.
