Course Overview
Food businesses must provide accurate allergen information and manage allergen risks effectively. This qualification gives food handlers and customer-facing staff the knowledge needed to recognise the 14 regulated allergens, understand allergies and intolerances, communicate reliable information and reduce the risk of allergen cross-contact.
The course is particularly useful for catering teams involved in purchasing, preparation, service or answering customer questions. It combines clear explanations with practical workplace examples, helping learners understand how allergen controls should work from supplier information and recipes through to final service.
At Good Skills Training, we keep the subject practical, relevant and easy to understand. Quality training at affordable prices does not have to be an alien concept.

What People Say About Us
Feedback from organisations that have used our services.
We have been working with Good Skills Training over the past seven years as they provide First Aid training for our staff. They have continuously offered a friendly and professional service, from each initial enquiry, through to booking and delivery. On occasions, we have made specific requests, and they have always been willing to accommodate our requirements. As school funding continues to be restricted, we have found that they offer a quality provision at a competitive price. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering using their services.
