- If you have worked in the food industry before, you may be able to volunteer some of your time (12 hours) with your previous establishment. For the purposes of this assessment, your supervisor does not need to be a chef or a trained food safety supervisor. It can be anyone currently employed in the food industry (with a minimum of 12 months experience).
- If you have a friend or family member employed in the food industry, they can also sign off on your practical assessment. Again, it doesn’t need to be a qualified chef or food safety supervisor; It can be anyone currently employed in the food industry (with a minimum of 12 months experience).
- You can volunteer for a few shifts with a charity, community organisation or other food business. Many places are happy to have volunteers help out in return for completing the observer report. If you’re looking for charities near you, a great place to find out more information is your local council.
