Food Processing Industry FSS (Food Safety Supervisor)

Our online courses can be accessed 24/7, 365 days a year which means that you can take them from anywhere and complete them at your own page. Some students will complete the course in a single day (around 4-hours of study), whilst others may choose to spread out the course over a number of days.

Students are free to study at a time and pace that suits their work and life requirements. The end goal is to complete the course – we don’t mind how long that takes.

Yes, an upfront payment is required before starting the Food Processing Industry FSS Course online. CFT accepts payment by Visa, Mastercard or American Express.

Anyone can be a Food Safety Supervisor. There may be more than one food safety supervisor for each food business.
It is recommended that Food Safety Supervisors complete training and obtain a statement of attainment issued by a registered training organisation (RTO) like CFT for the relevant food sector where they work.

The Food Processing Safety Supervisor Course is a requirement for those that are responsible for maintaining food safety applying food safety procedures in venues such as, Food Product Manufacturers, Flour Mills, Canneries, Dried Food Packers, Bakers, Pasta Manufacturers, Pickle, Relish, Chutney, and Condiment Producers – just to name a few. If you’re unsure if this course is required for your position in your state or territory, then you can get in touch with our friendly team to learn more.

Courses FBPFSY1002 and FBPFSY2002 are assessed in two components.

• A series of online questions to assess your knowledge
• A workplace practical skills assignment
• The workplace assignment is completed on the job, in a real or simulated workplace environment and observed by a suitably qualified third-party observer.

There are some things we can’t see you doing through your computer – which is why we need you to ask somebody that you work with, or someone who works in the food industry, to complete a skills observation report.

Before you begin studying or training with CFT, you can check out our courses, fees and CFT Policies and Procedures.

This information is available in our Student Information Handbook and the CFT Policy page of this website.

Your 3rd party observer needs to be a person whose qualifications are equal to or above the level being assessed, OR a person who has a minimum of 5 years’ experience in the food industry.

If you don't currently have a workplace or workplace supervisor this practical assignment can be completed in your home kitchen as a simulated environment and observed by someone suitably experienced in food preparation.
