Food Handler Training

The training provides food handlers with the knowledge and skills they need to safely handle foods for human consumption. Successful completion of the program assures food managers, regulators and trainers that the certificate holder has completed a basic course in food safety.

To be awarded the Certificate of Completion, an individual must complete the training course and pass the 40-question multiple-choice assessment with a 70% of higher.

You may retake the assessment as many times as needed if a passing score is not achieved. The Certificate of Completion is valid for 3 years, at which time candidates must again take the course.
