EVHA Grease Hygiene Technician training explains the EVHA Guide to Good Practice.
The training caters for the fastest-growing part of the European duct cleaning industry – kitchen extract duct cleaning.
The course is linked to the recently published EVHA Guide to Kitchen Extract Ductwork Cleaning, Maintenance and Fire Safety (2021). This guide provides the modern standards which customers, service providers, insurers and landlords can rely on
There is increasing demand from insurance companies, landlords and hospitality industry chains such as fast food franchises, hotel groups and professional caterers that kitchen extract duct cleaners must be properly trained and certified
EVHA Grease Hygiene Technician Training
The Grease Hygiene Technician course consists of theory and practical activities and the delegates will be assessed on both.
It is based on the highly successful BESA TR/19 training which has seen more than 620 delegates receive training and qualification. It is adapted to pan-European requirements – largely by referring to the European Norm EN15780 ‘Ductwork. Cleanliness of Ventilation Systems’, which is expected to be revised in 2020/21 to include kitchen extract systems.
The theory and practical exercises include:-
- Safe working practices
- The principles of kitchen grease extract systems and associated components
- Planning and preparing the work location
- Cleaning of kitchen grease extract systems and associated components
- Supervision
- Working sustainably
- Pre and post clean testing and reporting
On completion of the course Grease Hygiene Technician delegates will:

Examination & Accreditation
EVHA will provide a Certificate of Competence for candidates who successfully pass the Final Assessment. This comprises a multiple choice examination, practical assessment & professional discussion.
The course content and examination is based on the EVHA Guide to Kitchen Extract Ductwork Cleaning, Maintenance and Fire Safety (2021). In turn this reflects the likely updating of the European Standard EN15780: ‘Ventilation for buildings – Ductwork — Cleanliness of ventilation systems’ to include consideration of kitchen extract system cleanliness. The Association recognises that this is important to give the qualification real authority, especially to multi-site hospitality businesses, insurance companies and landlords. It is part of the Association’s mission to maintain and improve the reputation of its membership amongst both the duct cleaning trade and the customers and other stakeholders.
