Are you feeling overwhelmed or burned out when it comes to getting your food safety certificates? We’ve all been there! It can be difficult to stay motivated when dealing with the same paperwork or prepping for the same exam over and over. That’s why in this blog, we’ll provide 10 sources of inspiration to help you rekindle your love of food safety certification. From inspiring stories of success to creative ways to make the process more enjoyable, these tips will help keep you motivated and excited about the process. So let’s get started!’

1. Read inspiring stories of success. Hearing how other food handlers, whether employees or managers, have overcome challenges and achieved their goals can be a great source of inspiration. Many food service companies have success stories and testimonials from having all of their staff certified that can provide you with the motivation you need to keep going and make sure you finish your food safety course program.

2. Look for creative ways to make the process more enjoyable. For example, if you’re prepping for the food handlers certificate exam, try studying with a group or finding fun ways to practice the material. You can even turn the process of studying into a game or challenge. Probe It’s course has done that for you, using engaging questions and quizzes to keep your attention while you study.

3. Reward yourself for your hard work and dedication. Taking the time to recognize what you’ve learned, no matter how small, can help keep you motivated and excited about the process. Whether it’s treating yourself to a meal out (and see food safety in action by the waiters/chefs!) or taking a break from studying, rewards can be a great source of inspiration when you’re working towards getting your food safety certificate.

4. Utilize online resources. Many organizations, such as Probe It Food Safety, provide online courses and resources to help you prepare for the exam and get certified.

5. Take practice tests. Taking practice tests can help you get a better understanding of what to expect during the exam and help you identify areas of improvement in your understanding.

6. Get a mentor. Having somebody to guide and support you can be incredibly helpful when it comes to preparing for the exam and staying motivated. Ask somebody you know who has gone through the process for advice and guidance. An ideal example would be a senior coworker who has more years of experience preparing or serving food, or your manager/employer. If you are a student in a culinary course, your professor can give you tips as well – and keep you on track.

7. Set small achievable goals. Setting small, achievable goals can help you break down the process into manageable steps and stay motivated. Instead of trying to learn everything in one sitting, try doing 30 minutes a day for a week until you’re ready to take the exam.

8. Use online media. Listening to podcasts or videos on food safety can help you stay informed and motivated while on the go. Hearing about horror stories can also remind you what’s at stake if you get lazy with food safety on the job!

9. Take a break from the material. Sometimes taking a break from studying can help you clear your head and come back to the material with fresh eyes.

10. Find a study buddy. Studying with a friend or colleague can help make the process more fun and help keep you accountable.
