Food Manufacture has launched a joint e-learning venture, Food Manufacture Training, with software and learning content company Skillgate.
The initiative is aimed particularly at processors anxious to cover regulatory requirements for staff training.
Courses can be completed in as little as 10 minutes. Subjects include food hygiene; health & safety essentials; health & safety risk assessment; manual handling; pest awareness; display screen equipment; and fire & evacuation. Other modules are in the pipeline.
"Learning is straightforward, you take a test [online] and you relearn if you fail," said Skillgate md Ian Page. Prices start from £10 per employee plus VAT. See http://www.foodmanufacture.skillgate.com
