Food Handlers (any individual who prepares food and beverage products in NEA-licensed eating establishments).
A food handler refers to any person who handles and prepares food and beverage in NEA-licensed food establishments. Chefs, sous chefs, cooks, kitchen assistants and food stall assistants are considered to be food handlers as they are primarily involved in food preparation.
Managers, captains, waiters, cashiers, dishwashers, cleaners and other service staff are generally not considered as food handlers as they are not directly involved in food preparation. However, they will be considered as food handlers if they are also involved in the handling and preparation of food and beverage. This may take the form of washing and cutting of raw fruits, vegetable and meat, processing of ready to eat food (in raw or cooked form), preparation of sauces, spices and condiments, mixing of beverage drinks, etc.
At the end of the course, learners are required to complete a total of 1 hour and 30 minutes of summative assessment, comprising a written assessment, role plays and oral questioning. Depending on the speed each learner takes to complete the assessment, the assessment will end later than the stipulated time.
Upon successful completion of the course and assessment, a Statement of Attainment (SOA) will be awarded to the participants.
