The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) has announced that it is expanding its portfolio of food training courses with the launch of the Level 3 Award in Food Safety qualification in Dubai.
Designed specifically to complement the Level 3 Person in Charge (PIC) qualification, the CIEH is the first awarding organisation to provide this additional training for people working in food businesses.
From January 2011 it was mandatory for all food businesses in Dubai to have at least one person PIC certified.
The news means candidates will be given a truly international qualification, recognised and valued by businesses worldwide. As a CIEH qualification it will acknowledge a candidate's high standard of food safety knowledge and competence.

Commenting on the launch, Graham Jukes, CIEH chief executive, said: "We have been encouraged by the extremely positive response we have had to our PIC training products and the speed at which we have gained significant market share - there is clearly a gap in the market for the type of quality product the CIEH provides.
"With a growing tourism industry and a reputation for having world class cuisine and restaurants, ensuring food safety is now a top priority for Dubai and the CIEH is delighted to be helping the municipality achieve this.”
