Exceptions apply to certain low-risk operations,such as those selling only sealed, prepackaged items—and some nonprofit organizations.
The certified manager doesn’t need to be present during all business hours but must be reachable at all times the facility is operating. Each certified individual may only be designated for one location.
To earn certification, candidates must pass an exam from an ANSI-CFP accredited program, like the one provided by AAA Food Handler.
It’s also important to know that several counties in Pennsylvania oversee their own food safety manager regulations. These include:
Allegheny County
Bucks County
Chester County
Montgomery County
Philadelphia County

If your business falls under one of these jurisdictions, be sure to consult the local health department to confirm accepted training providers and specific guidelines.

se entiende muy bien y aprende demasiado gracias
I really liked that this course had shorter modules and that you got to control the speed at which you went. It made it easier to go through and made the information more digestible.
Getting recertified is a chore. This actually does make it a bit easier, especially than sitting in a class all day. One recommendation is to hit pause on the screens with a lot of information or lists. You’ll want to absorb the information before the presentation automatically moves on and you may not want to watch the whole screen again.
Great Course Enjoyed taking it.

No way to speed up videos, even with closed captions. Drags on longer than it needs to. Also no sound without headphones, annoying
I learned alot it did take awhile but I took alot of notes
I finish these course in a four hours. If you have time, you can do it in one sitting.
A lot of information!!! You will need to take notes.
The only problem was it didn’t allow you to go back a few seconds, you had to start the module all over.
The course was interesting and well formatted.
Very informative. While going through the info I found that a lot of places I have been to have somewhat violated stuff that was in this class.
Necessary for job. Lots of good information. Somewhat repetitive in areas.
very informative
