SITXFSA005 – Use Hygienic Practices for Food Safety is a nationally recognised course designed for individuals working or volunteering in hospitality, food transport, catering, and distribution settings. This training provides the skills and knowledge required to prevent food contamination and reduce the risk of food-borne illnesses through correct hygiene and handling practices.

Students will complete theory assessments online and demonstrate practical skills in a real or simulated food handling environment, such as a commercial kitchen, catering line, or food prep area. A third-party observer—such as a manager, supervisor, or team leader—must confirm the student’s performance using a structured observation report and short video confirmation.

This course is ideal for staff, volunteers, or job seekers who need a food safety qualification to work in a range of food-related industries.
