Food allergy and intolerance are growing health concerns in the UK. They are life changing and in serious cases can be fatal, or lead to long-term health conditions.
From 13 December 2014, a new piece of European legislation, called the Food Information for Consumers Regulation (EU FIC) means allergen information must be provided in a clearer and more consistent way on prepacked and loose food, making it easier for you to make safer choices when buying food or eating out.
We have two training courses to make it as easy as possible for you and your team to understand and comply with the new law:
Level 2 Award in Food Allergen Awareness and Control in Catering (RQF)

Welcome to UK Training, and thank you for visiting! We are a Northamptonshire based training provider, offering vocational qualifications and training courses for both individuals and corporations. We’d like to take this opportunity to tell you a little bit more about what we do, and the ways in which we can help you.
UK Trainng was set up when we identified a need for an accessible, local training provider that was able to deliver accredited compliance training and vocational qualifications to both individual employees, and larger workforce teams.
As businesses and employers today increasingly understand the value of offering formal training and qualifications to their workforces and acknowledge the importance of investing in the career development of their staff, the demand for vocational training and the qualifications that accompany it has risen exponentially.
Today, many industries require staff to be trained and certified in order to be permitted to work within certain roles, as well as recognising the direct value of investing in improving the skills of their staff.
However, many companies, and also individuals who wish to increase their skillset to make themselves more appealing to employers often have difficulty finding an accredited training provider that offers a comprehensive, fully inclusive service comprising of the necessary skill training and formal certifications that they need in order to progress.
UK Training bridges the gap between the demands and desires of corporations and individuals to upskill and attain workplace qualifications, and the previous lack of availability of training and certification in vocational skills that are directly relevant to mandatory vocational qualifications, and additional work-based skills
Today, we are a leading training provider in the Northamptonshire area for work-based vocational skills and qualifications, and legal compliance training for both individuals who wish to attain vocational qualifications to help them to advance in their careers, and also, larger workforces that need to offer formal training and certification to their staff in order to enable them to fulfil their working roles.
UK Training offers a comprehensive range of training courses and accredited compliance qualifications for employees working in a wide range of industries including, but not limited to, the private security sector, customer service, food service, the hospitality industry, and many more!
Ultimately, our intention is to grow and expand our training and certification portfolio to include an ever-wider range of courses, as dictated by the needs of our clients, and future updates and changes to the existing regulations regarding industry-specific certification and staff training.
