WSQ Food Safety Course Level 1: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This course provides the mandatory food safety certification required for anyone working in a licensed kitchen.

👤Who it's for

This scheme is designed for all food handlers working in Singapore. If your job involves handling, preparing, or serving food in a professional capacity, you qualify as a person who needs this training to meet regulatory standards.

🎁What you get

By completing this course, you receive the official certification required to work in any licensed kitchen. This certification serves as proof that you have met the necessary safety standards to handle food, which is a legal requirement for working in the food and beverage industry in Singapore.

💰What it costs you

The actual cost of the course can vary depending on the specific training provider you choose.

You should check with your training provider regarding the current subsidized rates and the specific documentation needed to claim those benefits.

While the course provides the essential training needed to start working, you should always stay informed about the specific requirements for your role. It is important to check with your employer or the local authorities to understand if there are specific timelines or renewal requirements you need to manage to keep your certification valid for your specific workplace.
