Food Safety and Hygiene Course

Ever considered taking a Food safety and Hygiene course? - I have, many times, but it's something that, until recently, never got past the thought process. It kept getting tucked away in a little box marked 'things to get around to one day' along with running the London marathon and hang gliding off Pedro Bonitia in Rio de Janeiro (I nearly did do the last one but I was wearing the wrong shoes!)

Anyway now I can say that I have actually completed the course and it was so simple that I should have done it years ago.

I studied online at www.virtual-college.co.uk. The length of time the course can take depends entirely on how quickly you can study and absorb the material. You can proceed as quickly or slowly as you like, there is no limit on how long you can take to do the course - I did it over two mornings but it can be completed in as little as 2-3 hours.

The course it's self was easy to navigate, most of the information was common sense and the exam was multiple choice questions.
The sections covered subjects like 'Impact of Food Borne illness' and 'Food Preservation, Storage and Temperature Control', all useful things to know even if you don't work in the food industry.

Having never used a virtual study program before I don't know how this compares to an actual college course but I will certainly consider using this method again so . . . . . about this hang gliding off Pedro Bonita - Watch this space!!!!
