I need to do a food hygiene certificate, level two and possibly three for my micro dairy venture. Someone told me I could do it online and the local EHO said whatever I did needed to be CIEH (chartered institute of environmental health) accredited, which most of them aren't. There is a CIEH online site but only gives basic info and can I get them to answer the phone?? That's a big NO.....

Has anyone here any experience of any of this? Does it really have to be CIEH, what's wrong with City and Guilds for example? Any opinions on whether it's better to do it online or on a course? I like the idea of online as it means I don't have to leave the farm and can do it in my own time.

I need to do the manufacturing one and am thinking of doing the level three as it covers HACCP as well though may simply do the separate haccp training instead... I could also do with some advice on whether that's all I'd need to cover. I have a vague notion that there is some other kind of risk assessment thing to do but might just be making that up. Any thoughts/experiences most appreciated.

I'm doing Level 2 at work tomorrow, part of my move to become a fishmonger by stealth, or, maybe, a stealth fishmonger...

Didn't mind tbh, I got to play with with fish and sharp knives all day, with minimal/no supervision

Sounds fun, some days I wish I could do that instead.

It's going to be a really impressive juggling act. If a bit niche.

I'd been at Morrisons for about 3 weeks, when the, then, personnel manager asked me if I'd be interested in doing a day's overtime each week working on the fish counter. I jumped at the chance and now I'm trying to make it a permanent switch. I want to be trained properly, to be a fishmonger, rather than someone who works on the fish counter, IYSWIM.
The ultimate would be a proper 3 year apprenticeship course, but, I suspect, I'm too old for that.
