Yes. Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) guidance does not specify a provider or a delivery format — it requires that food handlers receive training appropriate to their role and that completion is documented. The certificate carries the learner's name, course title and completion date for inspection records.

Level 1 takes most learners 1–2 hours; Level 2 takes 3–4 hours; HACCP Level 2 takes around 4–5 hours. There is no time limit, progress is saved automatically and retakes of the final test are unlimited.

UK law (Regulation EC 852/2004, retained) requires food businesses to ensure food handlers are supervised, instructed and trained in food hygiene matters appropriate to their role. A Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate is the standard way employers evidence that training for anyone preparing or cooking open food.

Most UK employers accept food hygiene training that follows Food Standards Agency guidance and is documented — which is exactly what this certificate provides: the learner's name, course title and completion date, verifiable online by its unique ID. It evidences the training that retained Regulation EC 852/2004 requires for your role. It is a private training certificate, not an Ofqual-regulated qualification, so if your employer or a specific contract names an awarding-body or Ofqual-regulated qualification, check with them first.
