My employer asked me to do a level 1 food safety hospitality to continue working as a waitress in their restaurant. Doing this course by correspondence was great because I could do it when I had time. The staff really helped me understand some parts I was having problems with as I have never done any of this before and I was really happy to receive my certificate so quickly.
