Who Should Take This Course?

This e-learning course has been designed so that all food handlers in the retail sector can satisfy their legal obligation to undertake training. The course is aimed at anybody working in retail, for example market stalls, farm shops, grocery stores, supermarkets, butchers, bakers, fish shops, wholesalers and delicatessens.

The course gives learners a basic knowledge of good hygiene and safety issues and meets food industry regulations, providing relevant examples with reference to employees preparing, cooking and handling food in retail settings.


Food Hygiene Certification

We will send a high quality certificate to you through the post within 1 working days of completion of the course. You can use this certificate to prove that you have undertaken the training for compliance and audit. You can also show it to an environmental health officer during an inspection.

Our food hygiene courses are all CPD certified. They have been independently certified to show that they conform to universally accepted CPD (Continuous Professional Development) guidelines.

The syllabus of our food hygiene courses matches the nationally recognised syllabus used by both the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and the Royal Society for Public Health (RPSH / formerly RIPH).
