1. Food Handler Certification. contact us.
This is usually used in volume by companies or schools. The cost per certificate is negotiable when the volume is above 25 persons.
This food handler certification is good for companies and schools training in the basic level of food safety. Our course gives you the basic times and temperatures and food safety and hygiene protocols, and is a must for everyone who works in a food environment. Most food production companies use the same methods used in the Retail Food environment, but yours may require less processes and much larger volumes.
2. Food Safety Certification for Managers, Chefs and Supervisors. $100.00.
Available as a) online coursework, b) correspondence, or c) at our location in St. Paul, Minnesota or Florence, Oregon, at various locations around the country, or c) at your location.
The course trains you to pass the Thomson Prometric CPFM exam and is ther prerequisite for our HACCP program. If you have taken and passed the Thomson Prometric or the ServSave manager's certification programs in the past year and can prove it, you will not be required to test on this portion of the prerequisite for HACCP 1. We will, however, request that you review the coursework and take the quizzes in the coursework. Sign up for online coursework.
3. HACCP 1 Course. $500.00.
Study materials available (prerequisite is included). Online coursework available soon..
Upon completion of this course and after taking RFA's two tests, you will be in compliance for most of the requests you may be getting for certification or HACCP class attendance. We also offer plan review and certification at no additional cost. We require that you finish the coursework for the manager, chef and supervisor certification and then finish our HACCP training.
This course includes the latest and best retail/wholesale template for a proper HACCP plan. Basically, you can change this MS Word document template to suit your needs. We will teach you how to use this document to create a top of the line HACCP plan for your company. The only problem is, with many simple HACCP training programs, you do not know enough science to properly identify and control the Critical Control Points. RFA will help you with proper identification and solutions for your particular plan. You get three Anchor Super Scrub 2000 fingernail brushes, a digital thermister thermometer, and forms and support for creating your HACCP plan.
We can train you at your facility if there is a minimum of 5 persons (less than 5, price/registrant varies). Expenses and fair travel reimbursement additional. Sign up for coursework.
4. HACCP 1 Train the Trainer. Price varies (based on volume).
This course has been more popular than we ever expected. In order to become a trainer, you need to have taken the HACCP workshops in St. Paul, Minnesota or Florence, Oregon. After you have taken the HACCP workshop training, you need to plan on a second partial day for the Train the Trainer portion.
The course also includes teaching tools like Glo-Germ (Dr. Snyder's economical use of the glo germ product), a high powered Ultra Violet flashlight/torch, and more. Contact us to register for the class. .
5. HACCP Plan Verification. Prices vary (based on time).
