SU Victoria offers Food Safety Handlers Level 1

As one of the workshops at the Torque training day, Scripture Union offered a certified Food Safety Handlers Level 1 run by Hospitality Training Victoria. Participants appreciated receiving a formal qualification that is recognised nationally, at a greatly discounted rate. We are considering offering another course in 2010 depending on the level of interest generated by volunteers. To register individual or group interest please contact the Community Missions Administrator.
