Why accredited UK food hygiene training does not have to cost a fortune: The Safer Food Group pricing guide


When running a food business or managing a team in hospitality, care, or catering, food safety compliance is non-negotiable. Every food handler needs proper training, and Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) expect to see up-to-date certificates on file.
However, keeping your workforce fully trained can quickly become a significant administrative and financial burden. Many training providers charge £20 to £25 per learner, adding challenging overheads to growing businesses.
At The Safer Food Group, we take a different approach. We believe that high-quality, fully accredited food safety training should be accessible and affordable for every business, from independent cafes to large national care home groups.
This guide breaks down our transparent pricing structure, volume discounts, and why our courses offer the best value for money in the UK.
£14.00 + VAT is the starting price for individual Level 1 and Level 2 course licenses at The Safer Food Group, compared to an industry average of £20 to £25 + VAT.
50% savings are available through our bulk volume tiers, reducing the cost of Level 1 and Level 2 training down to just £7.00 + VAT per course.
£75.00 + VAT is our starting price for Level 3 Food Safety Supervisory training, decreasing to £65.00 + VAT for volume purchases.
£56.00 + VAT is our starting price for Level 3 Food Allergy Management, decreasing to £28.00 + VAT for volume purchases.
City and Guilds Assured and CPD Certified: All core courses carry official accreditation, ensuring total compliance during EHO inspections.
Over 1 million learners across the UK have completed their food safety and hygiene qualifications through our video-supported online training platform.
We believe in complete pricing transparency. There are no hidden subscription fees, no extra charges for downloading certificates, and no penalty costs for test retakes.

We specialise exclusively in food safety and hygiene education. By using modern video learning technology and running efficient automated admin portals, we keep our operating overheads low and pass those savings directly to food businesses.

None whatsoever. Your initial payment covers the complete learning materials, free unlimited exam retakes, instant PDF certificates, and full use of the admin tracking dashboard.
Under UK food safety law (EC Regulation 852/2004), food business operators must ensure that all staff handling food are supervised and instructed/trained in food hygiene matters commensurate with their work activity. A Level 2 certificate is the accepted UK industry standard for food handlers.
Whether you need a single certificate for a new team member or want to set up bulk corporate credits across multiple sites, getting started takes less than two minutes.
