Our online Food Safety training is aimed at large or small businesses and individual users. Food Safety has been built on the Royal Institute of Public Health's food hygiene syllabus and is recognised by Environmental Health Officers.
We use audio visual, interactive animation to deliver our courses in an enjoyable and refreshing format.
The course takes approximately two and a half hours to complete and progress can be saved, enabling you to return to it later and start where you left off. You can access the course as many times as you like within a year.

On passing the assessment you can print your certificate to show that the required standard of knowledge has been reached. Course notes are also available upon completion.
