Q How long does the class and test take? A You should allow yourself the whole day. The class time varies depending on class size and teacher student interaction during our instructor lead power point presentation. The class portion averages 5 - 6 hours, so we provide a working lunch during class. We take a few short breaks during the class. Following class we set up to proctor the test. You have two hours to complete the multiple choice paper test which averages 80 questions. Most people take between 1 to 1 1/2 hours to complete it. Your certificate will be mailed to you in approximately one week. Class starts at 10:00 am and most people are done testing between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
Q Do I need a study book?
A Most people that have English as a first language do not need to pre-study by book. However, if you are new to food safety and opt for the Kiosk you may want to pre-study as well. The book is also nice to have as a reference for questions on the job and to use as a training tool for your food handlers. You can purchase a book on-line, pick one up at the school, or in our classroom day of class.
