Safe Food Training offers both instructor lead and online courses. Here is a quick comparison of the benefits of each:
Instructor led courses | On-line courses |
Our instructor lead courses are scheduled at several convenient locations around central MN every month. Courses normally start at 8:29 AM. | On-line course and available 24/7 to fit into a busy schedule. |
The actual instruction time is 5 hours (8:29 – 2:15 with break time and a 45 min lunch included). | Students must spend 6-8 hours to complete the on-line course. |
Our courses are structured to cover all of the tested information. We use various teaching methods to assure all students are involved and challenged. | Students can set their own pace and go back through sections as many times as they need to understand the material. |
The learning environment is focused but non-stressful to promote retention. | Each student can create the environment that works best for his/her situation. |
The instruction is designed to encourage questions and promote discussion which introduces different prospective and leads to a deeper understanding of how to implement the information in “real” life. | On-line instruction is designed to allow the student to pause the program and do research on items that come to mind during the instruction. |
Our instructors always schedule time just before administering the exam to answer any outstanding questions and review all the key information needed to pass. | On-line courses allow each student the flexibility to focus on the areas where they need help. |
A MN food manager certification exam is administered immediately after each of our scheduled courses. Students enrolled in an instructor lead course are automatically registered to take the exam. | On-line students must register for a proctor administered exam at one of our regularly scheduled course locations before starting the on-line course. These exams normally start a 2:15 PM. |
In person courses are delivered in English. | Available in English or Spanish |
