Highfield Level 2 Award in HACCP for Food Manufacturing (RQF) 603-2196-9

Highfield Level 2 Award in HACCP for Food Manufacturing (RQF) 4 TQT is an estimate of the total number of hours it would take an average learner to achieve and demonstrate the necessary level of attainment to be awarded with a qualification, both under direct supervision (forming Guided Learning Hours) and without supervision (all other time). TQT and GLH values are advisory and assigned to a qualification as guidance. Guidance on assessment This qualification is assessed by multiple-choice examination, externally set and marked by Highfield Qualifications. The examination contains 15 questions, that must be completed within 30 minutes. Successful learners will have to demonstrate knowledge across the unit content and correctly answer 9 questions or more to achieve a pass. Completed examination papers should be returned to Highfield Qualifications for marking. Results will then be provided to the centre afterwards. This qualification is graded pass/fail. Centres must take all reasonable steps to avoid any part of the assessment of a learner (including any internal quality assurance and invigilation) being undertaken by any person who has a personal interest in the result of the assessment. Guidance on quality assurance Highfield Qualifications requires centres to have in place a robust mechanism for the quality assurance of training delivery and invigilated assessment arrangements. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) Centres may apply to use recognition of prior learning or prior achievement to reduce the amount of time spent in preparing the learner for assessment. For further information on how centres can apply to use RPL as described above, please refer to the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy in the members’ area of the Highfield Qualifications website. This policy should be read in conjunction with this specification and all other relevant Highfield Qualifications documentation.
