How you’d get this certificate
- Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
- You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer FDQ Limited has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
- The centre assesses, and FDQ Limited awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from FDQ Limited.
This qualification is designed for learners who are working in, or preparing to work in the food manufacturing or food supply chain industry, in operative, supervisory or management roles, or in catering or hospitality sectors. The aim is to assess underpinning knowledge to recognised National Occupational Standards.
These are the units FDQ Limited registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.
Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with FDQ Limited. It does the teaching and the mapping. FDQ Limited sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

The credits, and who awards them
Level 2 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by FDQ Limited rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.
What you would be collecting
The principles of food safety for the food industry
Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.
How you’d practise it
You don’t watch this. You do it.
You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.
The Coach · your practice partner Illustration - Bring the real thing Apply
“The principles of food safety for the food industry” is taught against the work in front of you rather than a worked example. You bring what you are doing this week and it becomes the practice.
