🧼 Food Safety & Hygiene Training
Accredited Online Courses for Catering, Manufacturing & Retail
Whether you're handling food, managing a team, or running a business, our industry-recognised food safety courses help you stay compliant, confident, and inspection-ready. All courses are CPD-accredited, video-based, and meet UK food hygiene regulations.
⚖️ Do I Need a Food Safety Course?
Yes — if you work in any role that handles or serves food, UK law requires that you have food hygiene training appropriate to your role.
Under the Food Safety Act 1990 and Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004, employers must ensure that food handlers are:
“trained, instructed, or supervised in food hygiene matters commensurate with their work activity.”
Our courses help you meet that requirement — with levels tailored to your industry and responsibilities.
📚 Which Food Hygiene Level Do I Need?

| Level 2 | Anyone who prepares, cooks, or handles food | ✅ Required by law | ✅ Yes |
| Level 3 | Managers, supervisors, business owners | ✅ Required for those in charge | ✅ Yes |
