[Australia, 1 June, 2016] – My Food Safety, an online school run by the Australian Institute of Accreditation (AIA), introduces the Basic Food Safety course for students interested in basic food safety standards. The course offers tips on preventing the spread of food-borne diseases in stores or restaurants.

AIA also offers courses for individuals who want to operate as a Food Safety Supervisor for hospitality and retail. Other courses include Food Handling Certificate Level 1 and 2 for those who want to upgrade their career in the food industry.

Course Description

My Food Safety says the Basic Food Safety course will teach anyone who serves, prepares or handles food. They offer this online course for any person who is in direct contact with food, even if it’s not their main job. They say this can also be for someone looking to headstart their career in the food industry.

The online school educates students on the significance of proper hygiene and its effect on food. They say that people unknowingly spread food-borne diseases or contaminate food. They share that this usually happens when people fail to wash their hands, cover their mouth while sneezing or don’t wear proper food handling equipment.

My Food Safety further states that it is vital to know how to sanitise and clean an area where food is stored or sold. They say that areas might contain germs that spread diseases. The Basic Food Safety course will teach students about proper sanitary ways and ideal temperatures for food storage.

The introductory course includes basic information students can use to achieve a higher level certificate.

Course Outline

My Food Safety shares that the course will only take a student two hours to finish. The course involves basic information about food safety, tackling temperature danger zones, sanitising, food hygiene, cleaning and safe food storage.

The online school says the Basic Food Safety course is non-accredited, and is provided as an alternative to Food Handling Certificate (Level1), which is nationally recognised.
