It's New Course Friday!!

We're really excited to launch our latest online learning course; "Food Hygiene and Safety"

The course provides a solid introduction to managing food hygiene for anyone working in an outdoor setting. We cover UK legislation, the causes of food-borne illness, and crucially how to prevent or reduce the risk of causing it.

We look specifically at scenarios you might encounter working in the outdoor sector, such as Bushcraft sessions, serving food in a Residential Centre, or helping young people plan their DofE expedition menu.

We've been reading through some of the feedback from learners on our Introduction to PPE Inspections course, and we're really pleased with some of the positive comments coming through!

For example, one of our learners said:
"I found the course incredibly informative, the most useful part for me was seeing all the different pieces of equipment and how to properly check and maintain them."

Another said:
"I liked all the visual and video information that gave clear instructions of what elements you are checking. This will be useful for someone with little experience in checking equipment as they can see everything they need to."
