COURSE CONTENT.
The Food Allergen Awareness course consists of 3 core units, concluded by a final exam:
- CHARACTERISTICS AND CONSEQUENCES.
- IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL.
- COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION.
Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed prior to progress. At each stage learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE’ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.
The use of clearly defined Units and Topics, provides candidates with a structured framework which allows them to set achievement targets as they progress through the course. Each section of the course is marked with a green check following completion, which allows learners to leave and then easily recommence training.
