Running a food business in the UK means ensuring your team is trained to meet strict food safety standards, as outlined in the Food Safety Act 1990. But training doesn’t have to be costly or time-consuming. Skilltopia’s online food hygiene courses offer a flexible, affordable way to certify your staff, saving both time and money while ensuring compliance. Discover how our accredited Level 1, 2, and 3 courses can streamline your training process and boost your business.
Why Choose Online Food Hygiene Courses?
Traditional in-person training can be expensive, disruptive, and logistically challenging, especially for busy food businesses like restaurants, cafés, or food trucks. Online courses from Skilltopia provide a modern solution, combining convenience, affordability, and accreditation. Here’s how they help you save time and money while meeting UK food safety requirements.

Skilltopia’s online food hygiene courses are designed to fit into your schedule, minimising downtime for your business. Here’s how they save time:
- Self-paced learning: Staff can complete courses at their own speed, from anywhere with an internet connection, eliminating the need for fixed schedules.
- Quick completion: Level 1 takes 2–4 hours, Level 2 takes 6–8 hours, and Level 3 takes 18–24 hours, often faster than in-person alternatives.
