The Qist delivers nationally recognised health & safety and food hygiene courses across the UK — clear, practical, and taught by trainers who've worked the floor, not just the classroom.
We're building our catalogue deliberately, starting with the qualifications employers ask for most. Every course is delivered in-person or live online, with a certificate issued the same day.
A practical, HSE-aligned one-day course covering CPR, choking, wounds and workplace emergencies — the qualification most UK employers require at least one member of staff to hold.
The standard entry-level qualification for anyone handling, preparing or serving food in the UK — covering allergens, contamination control and safe storage, taught in plain language.
These qualifications are in development and will open for booking as each cohort is confirmed.
Evacuation procedure and extinguisher use for nominated fire wardens.
Safe lifting and carrying technique to reduce workplace injury.
A foundation-level induction course for new starters in any sector.
A focused add-on for food businesses handling the 14 major allergens.
De-escalation and communication technique for front-of-house teams.
Safe handling of substances hazardous to health in the workplace.
Recognising and supporting colleagues experiencing a mental health crisis.
The supervisory-level qualification for kitchen and catering managers.
We keep classes small, courses short, and paperwork out of the way — so you leave with a certificate, not a headache.
Pass your assessment and walk away with a digital certificate the same day, no waiting weeks.
Capped groups so trainers can actually check your technique, not just talk at a room.
In-person at six centres, or live online for courses that don't need hands-on practice.
The price you see is the price you pay — no hidden certificate or booking fees.
"Straightforward booking and the trainer actually made the first aid content stick — I felt ready, not just certified."
"Food hygiene course was quick, clear, and didn't feel like a box-ticking exercise. Certificate landed the same afternoon."
"Booked five staff in for EFAW in one session — the team handled our group easily and everyone passed first time."
Our admissions team can help you pick the right course, arrange group bookings, or answer anything about certification.
We usually reply within one working day.
