Who is it for?

This qualification is designed for learners who may be involved in the following job roles:

• Food processing controller/technician
• Food packaging and distribution controller/ technician
• Food service/sales controller/supervisor
• Food quality assurance controller/supervisor

What does the qualification cover?

This qualification is designed to develop advanced occupational skills & knowledge in a wide range of supervisory & monitoring skills in food processing, food service & retail. It is too small for inclusion within the Food and Drink Apprenticeship framework.

It is ideal for learners who carry out routine workplace tasks and who may use this qualification as a stepping stone to larger qualifications of this type.

Learners will therefore need to achieve this qualification outside of an apprenticeship framework where this meets their learning and development needs or training plan and future progression goals.

Entry Requirements

If an apprentice has not already achieved Level 2 English and Maths they are expected to study for them and take the tests via our Essential skills program, which will develop and ultimately demonstrate the apprentices’ ability to use English and Maths.

Employers see these skills as essential, and by holding this qualification apprentices are showing they have the ability to apply them in work situations.

Length of Programme

18 Months.
