    My GF is looking into doing this online course in food safety/hygiene and found one for £10 GBP. Its an online course so happy days. they say its CPD certified and transcend endorsed. Not sure though if these are recognised in Ireland and internationally or just UK? The course seems cheaper than any of the others we saw so, is that something we should be concerned about, or are they all pretty much the same thing?

    CPD is Continuing Professional Development, it’s a type of course not a course provider or certifier.

    It's rospa recognized according to the link. Cpd certified in this case is because there's a private oversight company called 'cpd' in the uk. I wouldn't put much stock in their attachment to the course.

    I don't see why it wouldn't be recognized though as it's a fairly basic, low level course.
