E-learning

Highly respected, accredited, and interactive online courses

Health and safety, food hygiene, fire, allergens, first aid and personal development — administered for you, or via your own easy-to-use LMS.

Health and hygiene online training

A full suite of compliance training — ready when your teams are

We have a full suite of health and safety, food hygiene, fire, allergen management, first aid, infection control and personal development online courses.

We administer the courses for your teams, or, for no extra cost, provide you with access to your own easy to use learning management system. That way, you can assign learners when required, re-set their passwords, monitor progress, and download duplicate certificates when needed.

We have produced free guidance to help you assess your compliance training needs as UK laws are typically littered with words such as ‘suitable’, ‘when necessary’ and ‘to a competent level’. This summary of the legal requirements and official industry guides should help you develop and meet your training plans.

  • Accredited content Respected, interactive modules your teams will actually complete.
  • Your own LMS Assign learners, track progress and download certificates — at no extra cost.
  • Flexible packs Mix subjects freely. Use courses any time within 2 years.

Training pathways

The right course for every role

From day-one induction through to manager-level food safety and health & safety — structured around how real teams work.

Induction online courses

Induction training should ideally be carried out on the team member’s first day and always before they are left unsupervised.

  • Level 1 Food Safety * Scale 1
  • Introduction to Allergens Scale 1
  • Level 1 Health and Safety Scale 1
  • Introduction to Fire Safety Short course
  • COVID-19 Secure for Hospitality, retail, or offices Short course

Team member online courses

Further training should take place before team members who handle food are left unsupervised (as well as on-the-job coaching in your specific procedures).

Alternatively, this can be substituted with A Game to Train Level 2 Food Safety (Scale 2) which sits on a different learning management system. Safer Food Scores clients who opt into our primary authority partnership can also undertake team member online courses (Short course) specific to their food safety management system.

Manager online courses

Supervisors, managers, and anyone who develops recipes, designs training materials, produces HACCP plans and food safety procedures, or carries out health and safety risk assessments should undertake higher level training.

These courses can be supplemented by a virtual or face-to-face invigilated exam which would result in an additional (OFQUAL regulated) certificate. Contact us for more information. Safer Food Scores clients who opt into our primary authority partnership can also undertake manager online courses (Short course) specific to their food safety management system.

  • Level 3 Food Safety Scale 3
  • Level 3 Health & Safety Scale 3

Fire marshal online courses

Although you still must carry out on-the-job coaching of your premises-specific procedures and practical fire extinguisher training, this course provides your nominated fire marshals with the knowledge, understanding and confidence to carry out their role.

Use a fire marshal calculator to determine the number required for your premises.

  • Level 2 Fire Safety Scale 2

First aider online courses

These courses can form part of a blended learning experience for your nominated first aiders, but you still need to arrange practical assessment by an accredited tutor. The HSE do not recognise standalone online courses to meet first aider competency requirements.

Use a first aider calculator to determine the number required for your premises.

  • Emergency First Aid at Work
  • First Aid at Work
  • Paediatric First Aid
  • Anaphylaxis & Autoinjectors Short course
  • Accidents including slips, trips, and falls Short course

Refreshers

Training shorts and refresher courses

Development and refresher training help keep staff motivated and reduce business risk. Putting your teams through the same training short each month can strengthen safety culture — especially when focused on weak areas you have identified.
