About our Online Food Worker Training Course When Florida legislators passed a law requiring every food handler be trained in food safety before working with food, food handlers have had few options to gain their food handling license. In 2006, that training was made available online.
Professional Bartending Schools of America (PBSA) is a group of independently owned bartending schools that now train over 10,000 bartenders each year, including over 1,500 in Florida.
PBSA has partnered with the leading online training provider in the US to offer alcohol certification and food worker/manager training classes and certification online.
The advantage of training and receiving your Florida Food Worker Certification online is that you may do so cheaply, at your own time and pace in the comfort of your own home. Enter Our Online

The majority of us in the food and beverage industry DO NOT WORK 9 to 5. Many traditional classes are just not available to us without taking time off from work and missing the pay that goes along with it, which can make the classroom training very expensive. Many food and beverage employees are working when the traditional corporate worker is getting ready for bed.
Unlike other training classes, this new course is interactive and uses animation mixed with live action video. The live action portions were filmed and edited at Drexel University in Pennsylvania. The action portions contain likeable dynamic characters that "elevate you from a training exercise to a show, almost a sitcom."
Our Food Safety First online course teaches the same subjects that would be taught in the traditional classroom, with subjects like personal hygiene, contaminants, cleaning and sanitizing as required by DBPR.
Since many of Florida's food and beverage workers are native Spanish speakers, this training is also available online with full audio and text in Spanish.
The course is affordably priced at $19.95 and major credit cards and checks are accepted. You may register for the class or find out more information by clicking on the RED "Enroll Now" button to the left.
