Level 1 Food Hygiene and First Aid Training Package

This training pack is a great way to introduce beginners to food safety, and first aid. This may include cooking at home, work experience in a food environment, or self-development for those who have an interest in food handling.

Level 1 may be used as an introduction to the subject for children and people with an interest in preparing food safely for a family. It is ideal for use in schools, in addition to a regular curriculum, and for students prior to taking work experience in a food environment.

The first aid course teaches learners to follow the Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines for basic to advanced life support training. Learners will know what to do if they are first on the scene of an incident, how to assess the situation as a potential danger zone and understand the importance of the recovery position and how they may apply it.
