Keith was a really engaging and personable trainer and made the course enjoyable. Because I’m heading away for super yacht work in the Med, he tailored parts of the course specific to super-yachting as well as European and American food safety standards. The course was easy to follow and had all the necessary information needed and I would highly recommend to people working in Food Service or Industry or heading away to the Med for super yachting.

Our trainer Keith Michaels was so welcoming with his manaakitanga from the moment the Zoom link began for me. Heading straight into a whanaungatanga session, it was the perfect introduction to the program.

Always personalizing the information so that the nuances that were relevant to us pending our reason for attending, was the perfect approach for my learning.

Keith was inclusive, informative, and has the extensive experience to not only support upcoming business owners like myself, but also able to always put the learning into a perspective that was relevant for us. Mindful.

The session was great - I would recommend Food Safe to anyone that needs to be certified also.
The mixture of media to assist with our learning was awesome too. In my opinion, variety in a learning environment always helps - well done!

Thank you for all the insightful knowledge that was shared today - links and all.
See you again in 3yrs🤗

I completed my Food Safety training today with Food Safe. The tutor had excellent knowledge and explained everything clearly according to our individual requirements.

In our online class, there were participants from different backgrounds — some were bakery owners making cookies, some were working on ship vessels, and others were from retail and takeaway businesses. The tutor explained the material according to each person’s role, which made it very helpful and easy to understand.

I would highly recommend this training to others.
The training by Keith was very helpful and well explained. He was attentive and made it easy to understand. Thank you very much.

I throughly enjoyed this course. I appreciated that Keith (course leader) took time to understand each participants needs, and then incorporated them into the lesson. Good for people starting new in the industry, or as a refresher for those who have completed before, there were a mix of people in our session and those who had completed prior spoke of new learnings, and as someone with limited prior knowledge, I took a lot from it.

I recently completed the Food Safe Food Safety and Hygiene course and found it incredibly worthwhile. The content was clear, well-structured, and very easy to follow, even for people with little prior knowledge. The trainer, Keith, explained everything in a practical, real-world way, and I came away with a much better understanding of safe food handling practices and the legal requirements.

I really appreciated how interactive and engaging the course was — it didn’t feel like just ticking a box, but actually gave me confidence in applying what I learned. The materials and examples were relevant, and I now feel much more prepared to keep both customers and my workplace safe.

Highly recommend this course to anyone working with food, whether you’re just starting out or looking to refresh your certification.
