About this Course

The WSQ Food Hygiene Course is course conducted under a National Competency Standard accredited by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency (WDA) .

Rigorous enforcement of food hygiene legislation is important but it is not, in itself, sufficient to prevent food poisoning. Food poisoning is normally caused by negligence or ignorance and consequently most experts in food hygiene believe that a reduction in the high level of food poisoning cases will only be achieved by the education of food handlers. Therefore, it is important that food handlers be properly educated and trained in terms of food hygiene and safety.

This training course is ideal for food suppliers, food handlers, quality control personnel, production personnel, food development personnel, caterers, and even supervisors and managers of food industries, cafeterias, restaurants, hotels, etc, who are responsible for a wide range of food safety issues in any food and beverage operations.
