How to choose

How to choose food safety courses for your job

Start from the job, not the course list. Every path on this page puts the legally required or audit-critical course first (for example Food Safety Practices for Persons in Charge of Food Premises under Regulation R638 10(1)(a), or Good Manufacturing Practices before HACCP), then the courses that build on it, in the order a certification body audits them. Each path shows live hours and rand prices read from the course pages, so the total is the price you pay, with no VAT added. Untick anything you already hold, choose your scheme where the path offers one, and add the rest to the basket in one click. A team can be quoted from any path.
