5. Certificate and Examination Fees
- There are no additional fees for certificate issuance or download.
- There are no additional fees for examination retakes included in the enrollment (up to the attempt limit while access remains active).
- If course access expires before the student passes, or if all attempts are used, re-enrollment at the full course price is required to obtain a new access period.
6. Certification and Examination Standards
Course study-hour, access-window, exam length, and passing-score values are set per course in the learning platform (Food Handler Certification typically requires 8+ hours of study, 30-day access, a 50-question exam with a 70% pass mark, retakes free of charge as many times as needed within the access period, and a 5-year certificate). Students have free certificate access from the student dashboard during the validity period.
