Overview: Food Safety Certificate WA

Western Australia emphasises the importance of training all staff involved in food handling.

This will aid in maintaining high food safety standards across the business.

Whilst there are no prerequisites to completing the majority of the Food Safety Certificates, it is crucial to enrol in the course that is relevant to your industry of work. Students complete the courses for a diverse range of reasons, but completing coursework outside your industry of work, may not qualify you for your relevant sector.

Regarding the hospitality & retail industry, all units of competency in the relevant courses are transferable to the retail sector and vice versa. Community and health services units are only applicable in that field.

For advice on the right course for you, we encourage you to speak with your employer or local council about the requirements in your State or Territory. Alternatively, you may get in contact with a member of the CFT team at 1300 665 633 or via support@cft.edu.au.

No – all CFT courses are completely online and are designed to allow students to complete the requirements at their own pace.

Students can log in and out as they wish to pick up on training where they left off. Courses are accessible at any time, and anywhere, with access available 24/7, 365 days per year.

Compared to the other states’ food safety courses, NSW operates under different legislation, requiring different competencies.

The NSW Food Authority has a prerequisite for the subsequent certificate to be issued in the New South Wales Food Authority format. As CFT is an approved provider and RTO, we are supplied with these ‘blank’ certificates, which will be filled in with the student’s; details and recorded by the NSW Food Authority upon completion of their relevant food safety courses.

If you are based in NSW then please look here: NSW Food Safety Courses)

Studying at your own pace will see completion times vary between students.

How long it takes you to complete the course will depend on the amount of time you have to study and complete the course, any existing food safety knowledge, and other external factors.
