Online Training for South African Fuel Stations, Forecourts and Convenience Stores
SAFCON Group Training Academy offers practical online training for fuel stations, forecourt teams, convenience stores, food counters, cashiers, supervisors, site managers and dealer principals across South Africa.
Our fuel-station training range has been structured to support the day-to-day risks and operational realities of service stations, including forecourt safety, fire and spill response, cashier safety, robbery awareness, customer service, food hygiene, R638 food premises compliance, emergency preparedness, environmental awareness, incident reporting, supervisor compliance and legal responsibility.
Training is delivered online and self-paced, making it suitable for busy fuel stations where staff work shifts and cannot always attend classroom training. Learners can complete the training online and receive a certificate of completion after meeting the course requirements.
