  • Q: Can a student pick up where they left off in a prior training session?

    A: Unfortunately, this program WILL NOT save student progress. However, a student can by-pass the videos and simply take and pass the quiz questions to progress to where they left off in the training.

  • Q: Is this course the same as the ANSI National Accreditation Board-Accredited version?

    A: No. The eFoodLite program should be considered a precursor program to the more in-depth ANSI National Accreditation Board-Accredited Basic Food Safety Course offered on our website.

  • Q: Do I have to pay for the eFoodLite Course?

    A: Nope! Our eFoodLite program is completely FREE.

  • Q: As a teacher, can I access records of my students to see who has completed the training?

  • Q: Can a student retroactively change the name they entered when beginning the program?

    A: The name the student enters when they begin their training will be the name printed on the certificate of completion when they pass all 6 sections. There is unfortunately no way to change the name provided by the student without at least retaking the eFoodLite quizzes in an entirely new training session.

  • Q: What if our school has blocked access to all YouTube videos?

    A: If your IT department has the ability to whitelist URLs, below you will find a document with all of our Youtube Training video links that you can provide to them. Alternatively, if whitelisting is not an option, below you will also find a PDF print out with all of our the video transcripts. Simply instruct your students to read through the material before taking each end of chapter quiz.

  • Q: As the teacher, is there a way for me to verify that all my students have completed the training?

    A: The only way to verify if a student has completed the efoodLite program will be by the certificate of completion they print out at the end of the 6-part training series. After a student has closed out of their web browser session, there is unfortunately no way to go back and retrieve the certificate of completion retroactively without retaking the course.

  • Q: Can a student upgrade their eFoodLite certificate of completion to an actual ANSI National Accreditation Board-Accredited Food Handlers Certificate?

    A: Our eFoodLite program should be considered more of an introduction to the important food safety concepts discussed in our ANSI National Accreditation Board-Accredited Food Handler training program. They operate completely independent of one another. If a student wants to earn their ANSI National Accreditation Board-Accredited Food Handler’s Certificate. They will want to start by setting up their individual training account here: eFoodHandlers® | Food Handlers | Get your Card
