The training program is fully online and self-paced, allowing participants to access the course anytime and anywhere, making it ideal for busy professionals. Interactive modules, including engaging videos, quizzes, and reading materials, enhance learning retention and application.  

A rigorous online examination serves as the final assessment, ensuring that trainees have acquired the requisite knowledge and skills. Upon successful completion, participants receive a DOH-recognized digital certificate, providing them with official accreditation and compliance with food safety regulations. 

Beyond individual training, this initiative benefits businesses with the culture of compliance, operational excellence, and consumer safety.
