After reading in BIIBUSINESS about one of BIIAB's newer qualifications, the Level 1 Essential Catering Award, [we] have encouraged five staff members to take the qualification. [They] enjoyed the ECA course, they're more productive because unlike the basic food hygiene qualification, the BIIAB course told them why things have to be done a certain way. It makes sense to them and they retain the knowledge and are keen to put it into practice the very next day.
