NSW Food Safety Supervisor Refresher Course (NSW FSSR) - $75
This Food Safety Supervisor (FSS) refresher course is for learners who already hold a NSW Food Safety Supervisor Certificate that is about to expire or has expired less than 90 days ago. If your certificate expired more than 90 days ago, this course is not appropriate for your circumstances, and you will need to complete a full NSW Food Safety Supervisor course.
NSW Food Safety Supervisor certificates have a validity period of five years from the date of issuance. To obtain a new certificate, you must renew your NSW FSS training. This course helps current or recently expired FSS certificate holders obtain re-certification.
Upon successful completion, you will receive a renewed NSW Food Safety Supervisor Certificate (the Blue and Orange Certificate) valid for five (5) years.
Pre-requisite unit(s) for this course are either SITXFSA001 and SITXFSA002 (SITSS00069) (Hospitality) OR SIRRFSA001 (Retail). Be sure to select the correct course below based on your original unit(s) completed.
