Our suite of work-based qualifications is comprehensive and appropriate for the food supply chain workforce - for those looking to build their on-the-job competence. For example, whether staff work in admin, warehousing, retail, transport or cleaning roles we have a qualification which is just right to meet their needs and the needs of business. We also have suitable qualifications for individuals in technical roles, as well as those requiring food safety training.

The qualifications within this suite are known as completence qualifications developing both skills and knowledge on the job.  It is important to be aware that these qualifications also sit within several of the apprenticeship frameworks which are most relevant to the food and drink industry, and its component sectors.
