Couple of questions:
I was talking to my tutor on Tuesday who said that we need 25 (out of 30) to pass, but according to the exam paper, we only need 20. Whose right?
Also, how long does this certificate last for?

Cant hurt to aim for at least 25 right can it..
do you get different grades depending on how well you do? I'm not all that familiar with the basic food hygiene certificate.
Kermit - I have no idea. I think it's just a case of if you get X amount of marks, you fail and if you get Y amount of marks you pass.
Honestly its the easiest thing you'll ever do, 30 questions on multiple choice most of which on common sense.
I think it's an actual law (?) that at least one person working there has to have one of the certificates if not all - don't know for definete though, that's just what I was lead to believe when working in a cafe :thumb:
There's alot more to it than that. We need to know about food poisoning and illnesses and some stuff about coloured chopping boards.
I have no idea why I had to do this - did pretty much all of it (bar the names of food diseases) at GCSE Food Technology.
I think that legally anyone who works with food is meant to have one.
Some of it is just common sense but some of it is to do with the law and some of it is science. I wouldn't say that knowing what temperatures you can store food at for it to be safe is just "common sense", about all the different bacterias and types of food poisoning, how food outlets and restaurants can take measures to prove due diligence incase there is a problem.
I think my course was 6 hours at college (I did the one-day version) and then an exam.
