Certified food managers: this online course meets Minnesota’s 4-hour requirement to renew your Food Manager Certification.

It is interactive, using videos, quizzes and case studies to keep you engaged as you move through the modules. You even get the kinds of takeaways you receive at an in-person training; there are tip sheets and resources to download throughout the training.

After you have completed the course you’ll get a form to send to the Minnesota Department of Health, renewing your certification for another 3 years.

What food managers are saying

“I enjoyed the audio/video section of the course as well as the interactive section that posed questions regarding a specific situation. These sections covered a lot of information in a short period of time and made the program more interesting.”

“I loved the fact that I can take this course at home on my own computer! I can work at it at my own pace! I also like the links for websites if we are interested in more information on a topic.”
