About this Course
If you qualify as a person-in-charge at your food service operation or retail food establishment, the state of Ohio mandates that you complete certification in food protection training. Our person-in-charge course meets these requirements.
In addition to meeting training requirements, our course teaches you how to protect food quality and prevent foodborne illness. You’ll learn food safety guidelines for personal hygiene, food storage, preparing and handling food, and maintaining a safe environment.
Once you complete the lessons and any required exams, you will earn your certificate of completion. You can use your certificate to show proof that you’ve completed an approved person-in-charge certification course.
