Food Safety Manager Certification and Training

The USPCA has partnered with the National Registry of Food Safety Professionals to provide an easy and affordable method to attain food safety credentials, including food manager and handler certificates. All National Registry programs are nationally accredited, and the National Registry is a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Restaurant Association.

A valid food manager certification is not required for most personal chef businesses operating at a client’s home. Still, it is a requirement for USPCA Personal Chef certification and desirable for membership. However, members must have proof of completing a food handler certificate course successfully. Having the credentials and demonstrating a core understanding of food safety knowledge is important and sends a clear commitment message to your clients.

The online Food Handler Training certificate program provides Personal Chefs with the knowledge to handle food safely. The Food Handler Training course and assessment is based on the current state of food safety knowledge, regulations, and requirements and is recommended for people involved in preparing, handling, serving, and displaying food.

USPCA members get access to discounted training and exams after joining.
