Course Overview

Food Safety Course Level 3 (FSC L3) prepares Food Hygiene Officers (FHOs) and supervisory personnel to take responsibility for food safety and hygiene standards within a food establishment. FHOs play an important role in monitoring food safety practices, conducting hygiene checks, identifying lapses and ensuring corrective actions are taken.

FSC L3, which replaced the former WSQ Conduct Food & Beverage Hygiene Audit course, is a 3-day programme that equips FHOs, food safety supervisors and managers with the knowledge and practical skills to implement and maintain a Food Safety Management System (FSMS) in line with Singapore Food Agency (SFA) requirements and HACCP principles. The course includes case discussions, practical simulations and guided FSMS planning activities.

The course is open to Singaporeans, Permanent Residents and non-Singaporeans. Course funding is available only to eligible Singaporeans and Permanent Residents.

WSQ FSC Level 3 is a one-time certification. FHOs who also perform food-handling duties are required to attain the applicable WSQ FSC Level 1 or Level 2 refresher training within 5 years of passing FSC Level 3.
