There are many online food handler courses available in Canada, and it’s important to find one that meets your needs and budget. Here are some factors to consider when looking for a high quality food handler course:

  1. Accreditation: Ensure the course is accredited by the provincial or territorial health department. This ensures that the course meets industry standards and that the certificate you receive upon completion will be recognized by employers.

  2. Content: Look for a course that covers all the necessary topics, including food safety regulations, foodborne illness, personal hygiene, and safe food handling practices.

  3. Duration: Some courses can be completed in a few hours, while others may take several days. Consider how much time you have available and choose a course that fits your schedule.

  4. Support: Consider the support available. Does the provider have a toll-free phone number you can call? Is there email and chat support available?

  5. Exam: Some providers charge an additional fee for the accreditation exam. Read the details and ensure the exam price and exam retakes are included in the price.

  6. Cost: Food handler courses vary in price, so consider your budget when choosing a course. Some courses may offer discounts for group registration or bulk purchases.
