At AIFS, we understand that every student learns differently and we want to help to meet your training needs. That's why we offer our students both online and classroom based training.
Online Courses
At the Australian Institute of Food Safety we believe that online learning should be fun, engaging and effective. With that in mind, we have developed our online courses to maximise the learning outcomes for our students.
Our courses are broken down into small, manageable sections which comprise of presentations, interactive tasks and quick quizzes - all designed to improve learning and keep students interested.
What's more, you don't even need to sit at a computer or laptop to complete the course. By using the latest eLearning technologies, our courses now work on most mobile tablet devices.
Classroom Courses
At AIFS, we understand that online training doesn't suit everybody and that some people simply learn better in a more traditional classroom based environment. We are pleased to offer training to meet these needs.
We can arrange training to be delivered at your workplace, or at a classroom local to your business location, and we have qualified professional Food Safety trainers to deliver this.
