Why train with FOG Academy

One blocked drain can close a kitchen. Most FOG problems start with simple habits, and they are easy to fix with the right training. Our courses are practical, up to date with UK legislation, and give you a certificate to show inspectors and clients.

Written by FOG specialists

Practical, not theoretical: real kitchens, real grease traps and real inspections, from people who work in the industry.

Learn anywhere, any time

100% online on phone, tablet or computer. Short videos and quizzes, at your own pace, with instant certificates when you pass.

Inspection-ready records

Certificates for every learner and team dashboards so managers can see who has completed, ready for any inspection or audit.

Training a whole team? Save up to 40%.

Frequently asked questions

Will inspectors accept the certificate?

Every learner who passes gets a dated certificate in their name. Download it and keep it on file as evidence of FOG training to show inspectors, water companies or your local authority. Managers on a team plan can see every learner's certificate in one dashboard.

How long does the certificate last?

We recommend staff retake their course every 2 years. That keeps their knowledge fresh and your training records up to date.

How long do the courses take?

FOG Basics takes about 30 minutes and FOG Professional about 90 minutes. Courses are self-paced and work on any device, so staff can fit them around their shifts.

Can I train my whole team?

Yes. Buy seats in bulk, assign them to your staff and track everyone's progress from one dashboard. Team prices start at 5 learners, with bigger savings from 20. Tap "Managers" at the top of the page to get a team quote.
