Why Food Manager Certification Matters

It’s an easy thing for customers to take for granted, but keeping food safe when it is served on the scale that is required in the average restaurant is quite a challenge. There are plenty of potential dangers involved with serving food to hundreds of people in a single night, so it’s essential to follow proper procedures and best practices. Learning all of the ins and outs of this kind of work is important for every manager, which is where certification comes into the picture.

If you need to get certified, you’ll want to go through the process with a partner that has been ANSI-CFP accredited, like Responsible Training. We have worked hard over the years to earn our place in this industry and to earn the trust of our many customers. From the quality and accuracy of our materials to the helpful nature of our customer service team, you’ll be in good hands with us from start to finish.

FAQs

Have questions about our training program, or the exam process? These FAQs may help, and if not, you are always welcome to get in touch with us directly and we’ll be glad to assist.

WHAT DO I NEED TO TAKE THIS TRAINING AND EXAM?

Nothing more than a computer and a valid credit card will be required for this process. Once you have purchased your training and exam, you can get started right away studying the materials in the training course at your own pace. When your study is done and you’ve completed the course, reserve a time to take your proctored exam so you can finish off this process. While you might be able to work through the course on a mobile device, we recommend using a laptop or desktop computer for best results.

WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A JOB AS A FOOD MANAGER YET?

That’s no problem at all – in fact, many of our students are in this position when they register for the course. It’s a good way to be proactive about building your career by taking this course and going through the certification exam prior to getting a job. Then, when you do land that job, you will already be done with this requirement and you can hit the ground running. Also, you might find that some potential employers are impressed by the fact that you’ve gone through the process on your own.

WHAT IS A "VIRTUALLY-PROCTORED" EXAM?

This just means that you will be monitored remotely while taking your Food Protection Manager Exam. The inherent problem with traditional online exams is that there is no way to know who is taking the test – so it becomes easy to cheat the system. By using virtual proctoring, we can confirm your identity and be sure that the same person who registered for the exam is the person doing the work.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE RESPONSIBLE TRAINING?

We understand that you have plenty of choices available when picking out a training program and exam for your food manager certification. At Responsible Training, we take our role in this industry seriously, and we’ve been building our reputation as a trusted partner for individuals and businesses since 2004. We are sure that you will be fully satisfied with the experience you have with us.

HOW DO I GET A REFUND FOR MY COURSE?

Responsible Training’s first consideration is customer satisfaction. If for any reason you request a refund before a certificate is issued, we will be happy to refund you the full amount of the transaction.
