Food Handler Certificate Program

Keep Your Residents Safe with Confident, Well-Trained Staff

Proper food handling is crucial to keeping your residents safe and maintaining compliance. The DiningRD Food Handler Certificate Program course gives your team essential knowledge in basic food safety, personal hygiene, cross-contamination prevention, allergies, time and temperature control, cleaning, and sanitation.

After completing the food handler course and successfully passing the course assessment, learners will better be able to:

• Describe the importance of food safety
• Explain the causes and consequences of foodborne illness
• Describe how to handle food safely, from receiving through service
• Identify proper methods of personal hygiene when working with food 
• Describe how food can be contaminated and how to prevent contamination

Of note, some states or counties have specific requirements for food handler training and assessment. In these cases, please use the specific version of the food handler program required to meet regulatory standards.

There are no formal pre-requisites for enrollment. Pricing varies based on volume; individual access starting at just $15.
