About Course

Compulsory learning pathway

You must finish Step 1 and Step 2 before this course will open. A category E FSSC 22000 audit is conducted against four documents. Steps 1 and 2 teach two of them. This course teaches the other two, ISO 22002-2:2025 and the FSSC 22000 additional requirements. Taken in order, the four fit together and nothing is repeated.

Enrolment on this course opens on its own the moment Steps 1 and 2 show as complete in your dashboard. There is nothing to send us and nothing to claim — the system checks it for you.

This course is the catering layer of FSSC 22000 Version 7. It takes food chain category E, catering and food service delivered directly to the consumer, and teaches what ISO 22002-2:2025 adds on top of ISO 22002-100:2025 and which of the eighteen additional requirements reach a kitchen.

Environmental monitoring under 2.5.7 does not reach category E, and knowing why matters as much as knowing that, because ISO 22002-100 still holds you to a clean environment. Multi site certification does reach category E, so 2.5.18 and its central function apply to a hotel group in a way they never apply to a factory. Management of services and purchased materials reaches you through one sub requirement only. The course works through every one at its real scope, quoting the clause, naming the documented information it demands and the toolkit document that holds it.

Twenty four lessons in four modules, eight games and knowledge checks, and a graded final assessment in two parts. Three attempts at each assessed part and a pass mark of 70 percent. Every question carries a written explanation naming the clause that settles it.

Course Content

MODULE 1: CATEGORY E, AND WHAT AN AUDIT IS CONDUCTED AGAINST
Settles what food chain category E is in the scheme's own words, the four documents a category E audit is conducted against, and the two places the documents are not conclusive. Also covers multi-site certification, which category E may use, and how findings are graded.

  • Lesson 1: What this course covers, and what it assumes you already know
  • Lesson 2: Category E in the scheme’s own words, Part 1 section 3.4 and Table 1 row E
  • Lesson 3: The four documents a category E audit is conducted against
  • Lesson 4: Multi-site certification, which category E may use
  • Lesson 5: How the scheme grades what it finds, and what that means for your internal audit procedure
  • In or out of category E?
  • Module 1 knowledge check

MODULE 2: ISO 22002-2:2025, THE CATERING LAYER
ISO 22002-2:2025 clause by clause: the nine places it adds catering specific requirements, the four definitions it introduces, the informative annex on preparation, and the much larger body of requirement that ISO 22002-100:2025 still carries for a kitchen.

MODULE 3: THE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS AT CATEGORY E SCOPE
The eighteen FSSC 22000 additional requirements read against food chain category E, at heading scope and at sub-requirement scope. Sixteen reach a catering site, two do not, and several reach it only in part.

MODULE 4: PROVING IT
Turning the two previous modules into evidence: a category E gap assessment you can run and score, a worked hotel kitchen and staff canteen example with four graded findings, and how the final assessment works.
