QAST has developed this course to be specific for school canteen convenors and uses the tuckshop setting for all examples and case studies.
The course includes a full day workshop either at the QAST training rooms in Brisbane or another suitable venue in your region. There is also a further on site assessment activity completed by the trainee requiring approximately two to four hours of work after the initial course. You will need approximately ten hours in total to complete the course.
QAST is offering this course primarily as a member benefit for Queensland schools, so course fees are heavily subsidised and significantly less than other food safety courses. Non specific food safety supervisor courses are normally between $180 and $220 per course. The QAST course is $147 for members and $187 for non-members (incl. gst).
