| I'm on the homepage and it's asking for my “Username” and “Password” but I don't have a username and password! How do I get to the course? | |
| First, please check your email inbox. When you purchased the course you were automatically sent an Order Confirmation email which contains your username and password. You may also need to check your junk and spam folders, as Order Confirmations can be mistaken by some filters as spam. If you are unable to locate your Order Confirmation, please contact customer service. | |
| I lost my username. What are my options? | |
| You will be asked to create a username and password when you purchase the test. The Training Login boxes are on the homepage for your convenience when logging in and out of the test at a later time. To purchase the test, first you will need to click on your state, and then the area in which you work. You may click “Purchase” or “Learn More” to proceed. | |
| My card was declined due to an “AVS mismatch.” What is that? | |
| One of the many security features we have on our store is the AVS match. This compairs the billing address you enter to the billing address your credit card company has on file. If the two do not match your card will be declined. If this occurs, please contact your bank directly to make the correction. | |
| What is a pending charge? | |
| A pending charge is not an actual charge until it says it has been completed. Even a declined charge can read as “pending” until your bank has a chance to process it. If you see a pending charge from StateFoodSafety.com™ please wait 1-2 business days for it to process completely. If you have any questions please call or email customer service during business hours. | |
| I am trying to buy the course but I can't get past the Preview Order page! Help! | |

| Where can I get a receipt? | |
| An Order Confirmation (orders@statefoodsafety.com) will be automatically sent to the email address provided at purchase. If you believe you have not received your Order Confirmation, please check your spam or junk mail box as some filters may read the Order Confirmation as spam. If you are unable to find your Order Confirmation, please contact customer support. | |

| Why would I need this training if we have a food safety trained manager and it isn’t mandated in my area for hourly employees? | |
| Food safety and the risk of spreading a foodborne illness is a significant issue for food service operators. It is critical to every operation that everyone on site knows and follows the correct food safety procedures. It is the hourly employees who are most likely to be engaging in the types of activities that put your food and therefore your customers at risk. This online training and assessment helps to ensure that every team member understands the critical role they play in reducing the risk of spreading a foodborne illness at your location. | |
| How long is the course? | |
| The course is approximately one hour long. However, you can go back and repeat sections that you might be unsure about before taking the assessment. You can also take only part of the course, discontinue and then go back and complete the course. The learning system will take you back to where you left off. | |
| Some of the people who need this training don’t read very well. Will the course go too fast for them? | |
| No, the material is presented with full audio. Users have full control over how quickly they go through the material. |
