Food handler training is required in many areas of Virginia and this course provides excellent food worker training to teach the important principles of food safety to food handlers.

A food handler is defined by law as a person who works in a food facility and performs any duties that involve the preparation, storage or service of food in a food facility. 

This course takes approximately one-two hours to complete and, upon successful completion, provides a printable food handler certificate. This certificate is good for 1-5 years depending on the county.
