Food Manager Certification

The Minnesota Department of Health requires that most establishments have a Certified Food Protection Manager. This course will help you achieve that Certification. We will cover Food Safety, Bacteria dangers, and updates within the Food Code.
Once the education portion is complete, we will move right into the testing. I currently offer 3 different testing options: Always Food Safe, Prometric, and ServSafe. All are approved for the MN Certification. Unless plans have been made prior to the class date, Always Food Safe is the testing company that I utilize. Please contact me with any questions.

Online Food Manager Certification

NEW to Cook Certified! The quarterly online course is the same as the in person course - but via Zoom! You will still be able to interact with your classmates and ask questions of your instructor! In addition, the exam is administered through Always Food Safe's online Proctors. Now, you can do it all from the comfort of your home. The course is currently available once each quarter - subject to change based on demand. Once the course is complete, you will be given the link and information to complete the exam. At that time, you will schedule a date/time to take your exam based on your availability.

Certified Food Manager Renewal

In order to renew your Minnesota Certified Food Protection Manager Certification, you are required to complete 4 hours of re-education. Renewal is required every 3 years and there is no longer a grace period.
This course will satisfy that requirement.
We cover Food Safety, Bacteria, and Code updates that may affect you.
You will leave with a Certificate of Completion so that you can update your Certification with the State of Minnesota.

Online Renewal

New to Cook Certified- I am offering a quarterly Online Renewal course. We will be meeting via zoom so you will have the same "face-to-face" interaction as you would in my classroom setting but with the safety and convenience that is offered with online courses. I will email any materials to you prior to the course so that you still have the study guide to follow along. Once the course is completed, you will be emailed the completion certificate along with the Renewal application to send to the state - all from the convenience of your phone/laptop/tablet.
