Your path
Food and Nutrition Complete, then a food handler card where your state or employer requires one, then hired, then your employer’s own training and sign-off. When you are ready to lead, Food Service Leadership 2027 is the next step. Some people later study for credentials such as CDM/CFPP or NDTR through programs approved for those credentials. This program builds knowledge for that path. It does not award those credentials.
Recommended add-ons
Sold separately. They round out the program, but they do not count toward the certificate.
- Choices Essentials: Making the Ethical Choice at Work ($59): workplace ethics and everyday choices
- Difficult Patient and Family Conversations ($29): calm, clear words for hard moments with patients and families
- The 60-Second Encounter: Patient Experience Communication for Hospital Support Services ($39): patient experience in the first minute of every room
- Medical Terminology for Hospital Support Staff ($99): the words you see on diet orders and in the record
- Food Service Leadership 2027 ($199): the next step when you are ready to lead
This course earns an ITC certificate of completion. It is not a food handler card, a food protection manager certificate, or the CDM/CFPP or NDTR credential, and it does not promise a job or a raise.
It recognizes completion of knowledge training. On-the-job skills are trained and verified by your employer. It does not replace your hospital’s orientation, competency sign-off or any state or local requirement. Every employer sets its own hiring requirements.
Questions
How long does it take?
About 30 hours of training. At 5 to 8 hours a week, that is about 4 to 6 weeks. It is self-paced, so you can go faster or slower.
Do I need food service or hospital experience?
No. It is built for people who have never worked in a hospital kitchen, and it still goes deep enough to help working staff.
Is this a food handler card?
No. Food handler cards come from providers your state or county accepts. Check your job posting, or ask the hiring manager, before you apply.
Can I buy the courses one at a time?
Yes. Every course is also sold alone, and the full price you paid counts toward Food and Nutrition Complete if you upgrade later.
I run a hospital, workforce or school program. Can I enroll a group?
Yes. Department packs for 10 or 25 seats are available, or contact us for larger group enrollment and reporting.
