In Good Hands is an on-line food handler training tool. The course is designed to be flexible to the needs of each individual learner. You may study at your own pace, in your own environment. Each module is designed to take approximately 45 minutes to complete. However, you may find that you'd like to spend more time on some topics and less on others. It is anticipated that the entire course could be completed in approximately 12 hours. Each of the 15 In Good Hands modules comprehensively covers food safety topics. Learn about safe food preparation, correct use of thermometers, appropriate cooling and reheating, approved cleaning and sanitizing methods... all in the context of preventing foodborne illness.
