About Is
Our story
Built by Canadian Public Health Inspectors. Trusted by 200,000+ students.
We have inspected over 1,000 Canadian food facilities for Toronto, York Region, and Barrie public health departments. We took that real-world inspection knowledge and turned it into food safety training that gets people certified the right way.

How we started
From the field to your phone.
Our story starts in 2015. We were Certified Canadian Public Health Inspectors working with Toronto Public Health, York Region Public Health, and the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit in Barrie. Our job was simple: walk into a restaurant, a school cafeteria, a daycare kitchen, or a banquet hall, and find out if the food being served could make someone sick.
Over the years, we inspected more than 1,000 facilities. We saw the same problems repeat in kitchen after kitchen. Most of the time, the staff did not have bad intentions. They had bad training. The certificate on the wall did not match what was happening at the prep counter.
We decided to build something better. A food safety training program written by people who actually do the inspections. A course that prepares students for what happens in a real kitchen, not just a multiple-choice test.
That is what we have built and kept improving ever since.
Milestones
What we have done since 2015.
The short version of the journey from public health inspectors to Canada's certified food safety training platform.
2015
Founded by Public Health Inspectors
Started as a small consultancy of Certified Canadian Public Health Inspectors working with Toronto, York Region, and Simcoe Muskoka District health units. Inspected restaurants, schools, daycares, and banquet halls.
2015
Launched in-person training
Crossed 500 facility inspections. Realized most kitchen problems came from gaps in training, not bad intent. Began offering in-person food handler training to restaurant teams and school cafeterias across the GTA.
2016
First proctored online food handler exam in North America
Launched secured, remote-proctored online food handler certification. Students could log in 24/7, take their exam, and get certified the same day. A first for Canada and for North America.
2016 to 2019
Accredited across every province and territory
Earned recognition and approval from every Canadian province and territory to deliver food handler certification online. Our certificates became accepted by every health unit across Canada. In British Columbia, the course is known as FOODSAFE Level 1 and is accepted by health inspectors and employers province-wide.
2020
Added WHMIS and TDG training
Expanded the platform to cover Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) certifications. Now serving food, retail, warehouse, and logistics workers across Canada.
2025
200,000+ Canadians certified
Crossed 200,000 certified students across all 13 Canadian provinces and territories. 4.9 stars from 1,711 Google reviews. Now adding Quebec French and expanding corporate and multi-location training programs.

I needed my food handler certificate fast before starting at a new restaurant in Toronto. Signed up, did the lessons, passed the test, and had the PDF in my email the same morning.

My new job in Vancouver needed FOODSAFE Level 1. Did the course on my phone in one evening. HR accepted the certificate the next day. Saved me a whole weekend in a classroom.

I have done other online safety courses and most of them are dry and full of fluff. This one gets to the point. Real photos, short videos, practice questions after each lesson.
