You can access the FREE training via a subscribing organisation. For example, if you are a food handler, check if your local council is a subscribing organisation. If your local council is a subscribing organisation, contact them and they will provide you with information on how to best access the FREE training. If your local council is not a subscribing organisation, encourage them to subscribe so that each of the food businesses in that particular local council area (including yours) can access the training for FREE via the local council's website.
