Free REHIS Food & Health and Food Hygiene Courses
CVS Fife is involved in a pilot project which aims to help voluntary organisations develop initiatives which increase skills and knowledge around food and health and promote access to affordable healthy food for people in Fife.
As part of the project, we are able to offer FREE accredited REHIS Elementary Food and Health and Elementary Food Hygiene courses to the voluntary sector through the CVS Fife Training Programme.
The Fife Food & Health Strategy Group has commissioned this project, which has been funded by the Health Improvement Fund.
