Do you live in NSW? Do you have a Food Safety Supervisor certificate that is expiring or has expired? Then this is the course for you!

NSW Food Authority Food Safety Supervisor certificates expire five years from the date of issue, with the first round having expired on 1st of September 2015.

Should your Food Safety Supervisor certificate be close to expiring and you wish to continue to be the Food Safety Supervisor for a hospitality or retail food business, you will need to undertake this recertification training course with Food Safety Australia as we are a Registered Training Organisation approved under the Food Safety Supervisor Program.

Food businesses have 30 working days from the date printed on the certificate to ensure their appointed Food Safety Supervisor renews their training and obtains a new Food Safety Supervisor certificate.

This new certification will include training in three key focus areas – cleaning and sanitising, safe egg handling and allergen management.

You will need to provide us with a copy of the NSW Food Authority Certificate that you currently hold.

The Food Safety Supervisor recertification training ensures an individual has knowledge of food safety requirements, the skills to manage food safety risks in the workplace, and can meet the essential units of competency. The training cycle of five years supports a highly skilled and compliant hospitality and retail food sector in NSW.

You are required to achieve a grade of 100% for each of the quizzes in this course and you are allowed up to three attempts for each quiz.

After you complete the on-line quizzes you must also complete and return the Workplace Observation Form and Workplace Assignment. These forms are part of the overall assessment. It is a requirement that you are able to demonstrate the application of the skills you have gained from the on-line course in a practical way in a commercial kitchen.

The Workplace Observation  can be made by anyone you are working alongside providing they are in the position to make valid observations of your performance. This means they should have at least 2 years experience in food service and preparation, or be a supervisor/team leader/manager of a food establishment or hold a food safety qualification.
