FOOD HANDLING PROCESS (NQF 1)

SAQA Registered Qualification

ID 58026

General Education and Training Certificate

Part skills programmes or whole qualification

Regulations Governing General Hygiene Requirements for Food Premises, has now been Gazetted.
The R638 replaces the R962.
R638 states more specifically than R962, that the person in charge such as a supervisor, as well as all food handlers, must be trained in principles and practices of food safety and hygiene.
This should be accredited training. The person in charge must evaluate the effectiveness of the training through assessments. Finally, records of training must be kept and training programmes must be updated.

OVERVIEW

In essence, without the skills and knowledge of basic food handling, employees would not be allowed to enter the food sensitive manufacturing environment.

Our facilitators speak Afrikaans, English, Sepedi, Zulu and Xitsonga Sotho.

Whilst providing a practical approach using workplace examples and case studies to ensure a thorough understanding of hygiene and food safety practices, the programme focuses on why the daily application of these practices is important and how these should be applied.

This qualification will contribute to increasing levels of personal and product safety and will develop a common integrated and co-ordinated approach to the handling of food and related products as well as critical life skills beyond the boundaries of work.

National Certificate:
Food and Beverage Packaging Operations

We all know that RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) is intended to redress past injustices. However, since the inception of the term as an NQF principle, it has been largely uncharted territory particularly within the SETA landscape. CPC in conjunction with FoodBev successfully piloted a fresh approach to RPL based on the QCTO Policy and Procedure rather than the cumbersome procedures implemented by SETA in the past.
Here is your opportunity to reward and recognise your loyal permanent Packaging Operators who typically coach and upskill endless intakes of unemployed youth with nothing to show for it themselves!
CPC has a fully endorsed Packaging RPL process based on a minimalistic approach from a time, process and cost point of view.

HOW TO BENEFIT NOW FROM UNTRADITIONAL RPL

A minimum of 6 learners per group is required to run this programme on a cost effective basis.
