Anybody ever done an online food handler's course? What was it like/ how long did it take?
I just found out I need one for my license. Apparently it's been a rule for a while. No one told me about it. Oops

Got one IN in 2004, and in MO 2008 - both had to be done in person/onsite... never knew IL had to do it also as I was only a registered home with 3 babes. I did web search and found numerous places offer ANSI approved less than an hr and less than $15 (IL state law for non restaurant)

I did one 3 years ago and will do the same one again for re-licensing. They are super easy and basically no brainiers except for having to remember temperatures, but those are easily accessible and you should have a cheat sheet somewhere in your kitchen anyway. If you are a fast reader they should only take an hour and a bit. I was able to knock it out during a nap time. I think, now I'm doubting myself, but it's not something I'm dreading so I don't think it was too bad.
The one I took only cost $7.
I think their is a list of acceptable courses on DCFS website.

This is the one I did. It was all online. It takes a little bit to do, maybe an hour to two? It’s a lot of temperatures to remember, so I took notes!
Where have you been Dave, this was a requirement a few years ago according to guidelines. BUT you know how they love adding those new guides and backdating the dates
. I think it was enforced last summer or somewhere around there. But my family has a restaurant so I had mine already
(I’m teasing you, not lecturing you, In case it comes across as being mean

i took mine online too! The $7 course. It was pretty much common sense. I barley payed attention and passed with 2 wrong.
