My Food Hygiene Officer (FHO) has attended the Food Hygiene Officer Course previously conducted by SFA / SEI / NEA more than 3 years ago. Does he still need to undergo the current WSQ Conduct Food & Beverage Hygiene Audit??

Question

Accepted Answer

An Food Hygiene Officer (FHO) who has been trained previously by SEI/NEA is not required to undergo the current WSQ course as SFA continues to recognise the qualification. However, the appointed FHO can opt to take the Food Safety Course (FSC) Level 3 Assessment-Only-Pathway (AOP) instead of attending the entire FSC Level 3 course. The assessment would include written assessment and practical assessment (mock up inspection).
