Time & Temperature Control

The four-hour rule, danger zone limits, cooking minimums for every major protein, reheating, cooling, and hot/cold holding — the numbers health inspectors actually check

Allergen Awareness

New hire got certified on her phone during orientation. 90 minutes, printed her certificate, and started on the line. Exactly the workflow we needed.

We hire seasonal staff across five states. Being able to send everyone to one course instead of juggling five state programs has saved hours every week.

I needed it for my summer job. Got through it in one sitting, understood everything, and had my certificate in my email before I closed the browser. Worth every penny.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our food handler certification is accepted in every state that does not require a state-specific program (for example, Florida, Texas, California, Illinois, West Virginia, and a handful of cities like San Bernardino and Riverside have their own mandated programs — we offer those separately). If you are unsure, contact us with your city and state and we will confirm in minutes.
Our curriculum aligns with the FDA Food Code and covers every topic health departments look for. Where no state program is mandated, this certification demonstrates to your employer and health inspector that you have been trained to recognized standards.
Most people finish in 60 to 90 minutes. The course is fully self-paced, so you can start, pause, and resume any time. Your progress saves automatically across devices — start on your phone, finish on a laptop.
Immediately. As soon as you pass the final exam, your certificate is available for download and printing. You can also email a copy to your manager directly from the platform, and we store a permanent copy in your account so you never have to worry about losing it.
Only if your state or city mandates a specific program. We offer Florida Food Handler, Texas Food Handler, and other state-specific courses separately. If your jurisdiction does not mandate a specific program, this general food handler certification is the faster, more affordable option and is widely accepted.
Yes. Each staff member creates their own account so progress and certificates are tracked individually. Contact us about volume pricing for teams of 10 or more — we offer significant discounts and a manager dashboard to track completion across locations.
