The Council’s training service has been running since 1989 and now runs a range of accredited and non-accredited courses for approximately 3000 food handlers per annum who work in communities, education, voluntary organisations, local authorities, health and social care, and food businesses.

The service provides alternative training interventions (in addition to traditional courses) such as using a range of media or workshops to help learning. It works with a wide range of examination bodies, adult and community learning agencies or other organisations.
