Online courses
The following Food Safety courses are offered online:
- Initial certification for food managers
- Certification renewal for food managers
- Food allergen training for food service employees
- Cooking Safely for a Crowd

Online courses can be convenient. You can:
- Study at your own rate

- Work online day or night
To take an online course you need to:
- Be dedicated and disciplined to get the course done in the time allotted
- Enjoy working individually on the computer
If you enjoy the interaction and discussion with an instructor and other learners or find it easy to procrastinate to get a job done, you might be better of taking our courses in person if possible. See all Food Safety courses.
