Training Courses and Seminars
As a result of our experience and expertise, demand for our training services has been increasing rapidly over the last ten years and training is now a core component of our business.We can provide training at all levels in the subjects of Food Safety, Health & Safety, Fire Safety, the Disability Discrimination Act and Construction, Design and Management.
We offer a range of standard courses, as listed below. However, if you have specific training needs we would be happy to develop a course especially for you. Please call our training co-ordinator on 01438 745771 to discuss your requirements.
Perry Scott Nash Associates Ltd is a registered training centre for the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH), Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and the Highfield Awarding Body for Compliance (HABC) so we can offer the full range of accredited courses.
In addition Perry Scott Nash Associates Ltd are able to offer a variety of bespoke courses, which cover the core elements of the accredited training courses, but are designed to reflect the policies and procedures of the client and therefore are specific to individual needs and requirements. The use of in-house examination papers and certificates for these bespoke courses means that we are able to offer these courses at a lower rate than the accredited courses.
All our highly competent trainers are also fully trained Environmental Health Consultants. As well as a wealth of knowledge about the subject they also have extensive practical experience within the industry.
We have trainers all over the country so we can deliver the training at your premises or a suitable local training venue of your choice. Alternatively, we have our own fully equipped training room in Stevenage, just 20 minutes north of London.

Essential Food Safety Desktop Training Pack
All food handlers are required by law to be provided with Food Safety training commensurate with their role and responsibilities before they start work. However, if you have a high turnover of staff it is not always practical or cost effective to arrange for an external trainer to carry out induction training.
Perry Scott Nash Associates Ltd have therefore developed a desktop presentation to enable supervisors or managers to deliver essential Food Safety information to small groups of new staff, as well as refresher training to current staff. The training is designed to last about 1 1/2 hours.
After completing the training, delegates will be able to:
- Understand the importance of good Food Safety
- Be aware of the three main Food Safety hazards
- Understand how bacteria can cause food poisoning
- Understand your responsibilities in respect of personal hygiene
- Be aware of the do's and don'ts of cleaning
- Understand the hazards posed by pests and how to prevent infestation
- Understand the basic Food Safety rules you need to follow at each stage of the food handling process
In addition, the training pack includes a CD containing a hazard spotting exercise, an end of course test and a training record sheet which can be printed off by the trainer when required.
