New products

FDQ has released Romanian versions of the examination papers which complement the food safety endorsed programme. We therefore now have exam papers available in EIGHT different foreign languages to support the multi-lingual nature of our food sector.

Centres with approval to offer our suite of food safety programmes in foreign languages are automatically entitled to utilise the new Romanian versions. 

We would like to draw our centres' attention to the recent release of two new Food Industry Skills (VRQ) learning based qualifications at level 2, now available for use.

These regulated qualifications have been developed and accredited due to demand from centres to provide further progression for learners in a learning based environment. They are therefore appropriate for those who wish to move onto further study or into a career in the food industry.

We have just received confirmation from Ofqual that amends to the Level 2 Fish and Shellfish Industry Skills Award, Certificate and Diploma qualifications have now been approved.

Please use updated structure and unit documents only.

To view the amended qualifications, please visit our Fish and Shellfish suite page.
