Following recent discussions between qualifications regulators and other awarding organisations, NOCN will amend the Level 2 Award in Food Safety in Catering as shown in the table, below.
This qualification currently has two assessment methods, portfolio and online multiple-choice test. It is important to note that the portfolio method will be withdrawn on 31 August 2019 leaving the online multiple-choice test as the only method of assessment. This means that centres will need to have laptops/PC’s to enable learners to be tested.
We will issue further bulletins to keep you informed of progress.

Add details about the online multiple-choice test to the qualification specification.   

This will be completed by 22 February 2019
