What people ask us about the course
How much does it cost?
€15 in total: €5 when you enrol and €10 when you finish, only if you pass. The certificate is included.
Is there still a food handler card in Spain?
Not as a document issued by the authorities. Since 2010, when Royal Decree 202/2000 was repealed, it is the food business that must ensure its staff have the hygiene training their job requires. The course certificate shows that you have done it.
When will it be available?
It has no date yet. Leave your email and we will tell you as soon as enrolment opens.
What do I need to take it?
An email address and a web browser. No passwords and nothing to install.
Can my company enrol all its staff?
Yes. Write to us through the contact form and we will set up a group just for your company.
