Updated systems
It's not just about our students! In 2015 we moved all our administration team to 'working from home' remotely allowing our staff to have a better work/ life balance.
(5 years before covid hit and caused such a huge shift in rempote working)
This involved a huge overhaul of all our systems to allow us to carry on providing the high class service that students and partners come to expect from us.
Today
Still leading the field
With over 200,000+ previous students, CFT
is still leading the industry in providing high
quality, accredited Food Safety, and RSA Training Courses throughout Australia.
CFT’s biggest focus remains on our students making sure they have access to the best Food Safety Training to keep their customers and businesses safe from food poisoning.
THE
To address the problem of thousands of people getting food poisoning each year the government required all food businesses to implement a Food Safety Program and nominate a Food Safety Supervisor who needed to be trained and responsible for keeping food safe. This was the catalyst that inspired Margret Leslie to form CFT Food Safety Training.
At the time, the industry especially, small businesses, was struggling to comply with this legislation. Margret had a background in Hospitality, studying at William Angliss in the 1970’s then owning and operating several successful hospitality venues through the 1980’s, she well understood the pressures businesses were under. In 1993 she graduated from Melbourne University with a diploma of teaching, this put her in a perfect position to assist people to stay in business and meet their legal responsibilities.
