Food Hygiene Training in Edinburgh
From the restaurants of the Old Town and the stalls that fill the city during Edinburgh's food festivals, Edinburgh runs on food businesses that live or die by their hygiene standards. Good Food Hygiene trains staff online, CPD-standard, with an instant certificate.
5,115 registered food businesses in Edinburgh
Inspected by City of Edinburgh Council
14 languages available
Trained for a rating, not just a certificate
Every one of those 5,115 businesses is inspected under the Food Hygiene Information Scheme by the City of Edinburgh Council's own Environmental Health team. A certificate proves your staff were trained — it's what they do every shift afterwards that the inspector actually assesses. GFH's courses are built around that gap: real kitchen habits, not just passing a quiz.
Courses & pricing
10 CPD-standard courses from £15 — Food Hygiene Levels 1–3, HACCP, Allergen Awareness, Health & Safety and more. Free taster version on every course, so a business can try one before training the whole team.
Edinburgh FAQs
Do I need a food hygiene certificate to trade at an Edinburgh market or festival stall?
Yes — market and festival organisers in Edinburgh almost always require proof of Level 2 Food Hygiene training before granting a pitch, and the City of Edinburgh Council's Environmental Health team can ask to see it at any time.
Does Edinburgh use the same food hygiene rating as England?
No — Scotland uses the Food Hygiene Information Scheme (FHIS), which records a business as 'Pass' or 'Improvement Required' rather than a 0–5 star score, but the Level 2 Food Hygiene training your staff need is the same UK-wide standard.
