Every UK food business must be able to demonstrate that staff have received appropriate food safety training. EHO inspectors specifically check training records as part of the confidence-in-management assessment. This free template gives you a structured system for recording all training completions, tracking certification expiry dates, and identifying gaps before an inspector finds them.

How to use this template

1

Create a record for each staff member

Complete an individual training record sheet for every employee, listing their role, start date, and required training based on their position.

2

Log all training completions

Record every training session, module, or course completed with date, provider, certificate number, and expiry date where applicable.

3

Update the summary matrix monthly

Transfer completion data to the team summary matrix so you can see at a glance which staff are fully trained and where gaps exist.

4

Check expiry dates quarterly

Review the certification tracker quarterly and schedule refresher training before any certificates lapse.

5

Brief new starters on day one

Use the induction checklist to ensure every new starter receives all required training within their first week.

Tips for getting the most from this template

Keep the log accessible near the kitchen so any manager can locate it when an inspector arrives
Record both formal qualifications (Level 2 Food Hygiene) and in-house training (allergen briefings, SFBB walkthrough)
Set calendar reminders 3 months before certificates expire to allow time for rebooking
Include evidence of understanding, not just attendance - signed acknowledgements carry more weight with inspectors
Paddl automates all of this digitally, eliminating paper records and providing instant access during inspections
