​Food Worker's Training

Food Worker's Training is usually the second Tuesday of the month, except holidays, with classes at 10 am and  2 pm.  A 6 pm classe will be offered every other month as follows: February, April, June, August, October and December.  A 3:30 pm Food Worker 's session will be offered the fourth Tuesday during the months of January, March, May, July, September and November.

Class length is about 90 minutes. Registration begins 30 minutes prior to class.  It's best to arrive early because seating and parking can be limited. Late arrivals are not admitted.  A Photo ID is required  for registration. 

The training costs $10 per year. First time attendees are only eligible for a one-year food worker card. Cards can renewed for two years ($20) or three years ($30.) Proof of a current card is required to renew for longer than 1 year. 


Offsite Food Worker Training
Many employers and organizations ensure their workers comply with training requirements by sponsoring an onsite food worker course. MCHD is pleased to offer this service for groups of 25 or more.

The cost is typically $175 plus card fees.  Please contact Terri Berton at 304-598-5138 to schedule a course.
