Managing a busy Minnesota kitchen is chaotic enough without stressing over compliance. We provide official Minnesota Department of Health-approved food safety licensing to make your job easier. Let’s get your staff trained and certified quickly so you can focus on the food.
Certification Course & Exam
Need your initial license? Our comprehensive 8-hour session covers everything from temperature controls to personal hygiene. We handle the instruction, the materials, and the state-approved exam all in one go.
As a certified ServSafe Instructor, I know exactly what it takes to get you ready. We host these distraction-free, in-person classes to give you the highest chance of success. In fact, our in-person students boast a pass rate over 90%. You’ll walk away with practical knowledge you can actually use when the tickets start printing.


Recertification Course
Approaching your three-year renewal deadline? Don’t let your license lapse and get stuck taking the massive 8-hour test all over again. Our 4-hour continuing education refresher is exactly what you need to stay compliant with the Minnesota Department of Health. We run these distraction-free, in-person sessions to bring you up to speed on the latest kitchen standards quickly. Best of all, if you finish this refresher before your current certification expires, you get to skip the exam completely.
