Ashley Roberts
“It was a smooth experience that gave great options for the exam. The questions were different if you did a redo of your exam, which I liked a lot. Overall I would recommend and will use the same website/company for my renewal in 2027.”
Vicki C
“Great course, longer than I anticipated. Perhaps you could include estimated time necessary to complete course in your intro. Maybe it was there and I missed it. Otherwise, course was well done.”
Latonia R
“Great content! Provides detailed information and tests your knowledge at the end of each chapter. This is a great learning tool. After taking the online course I am certain that I will properly handle food and prevent customers from illnesses. I recommend this course to anyone that handles food to serve others. I also recommend the course for people who prepare food at home for themselves and loved ones. There is so much I didn't know about bacteria, cross contamination, and the proper way to cool and store food. I can't thank you enough. You have helped me save my family from getting sick off of the food I prepared with LOVE!”
Ashely Rodriguez
“Courses were established efficiently! They went to the smallest detail, it took about 3 days to finish (depends if your a note taker).Great! Will get again perhaps maybe get a card next!!!”
Isaac Hilton
“I took my test in the middle of the night because I had forgotten to take it that morning. The test was a breeze. The lessons you learn (a nice refresher) are direct, straight forward and made to be easily learned. Thank you for the opportunity to review.”

FAQs
When four or more employees are operating in a licensed food facility, a minimum of one certified food protection manager must be there. If there are three or fewer employees, the certified food manager does not need to be present during that time of operation.
If your retail food establishment was operational before September 7th, 2019, you have one year (until September 7th, 2020) to bring your business into compliance with the rule of having one-person in charge who is a CFPM.
Establishments with a low risk of foodborne illness are exempt from this requirement, including businesses that only provide commercially prepackaged foods or those that only provide non-time/temperature control foods (as determined by the Arkansas Department of Health)
