I have been looking for work for several months. I will be applying to some restaurants for a cook position. Can I take the Certified Food Handler training?

Yes. You may register for the Certified Professional Food Handler course and you are highly encouraged to do so. You do not have to be currently employed by a food service establishment. The Food Handler course is appropriate for entry-level food workers and you will be given a Certificate of Completion that will show potential employers that you have the knowledge to prepare food safely.
