if u fail this exam, u've probably failed high school then....in my class, only 1 person failed, and yup, the one that came from foreign country with no high school background at all...plus he wasn't even listening in class....we laughed for a couple of months at work until he finally got it the 2nd time....

Ok then I guess the exam is easy.......where did you take ur exam? Also the exam offered by T.O public health will be on Dec, does anyone here know where else I can take just the exam? I need the certificate ASAP.

Getting an entry level job in the health care is surprisingly easy. This is what I did. Time wise for you, the best option I can think of is to be a Dietary Aide or Nutritional assistant (same job, different name, depends on where you work).

I did this years ago, I took this one day course. Basically you learn proper food handling, safe food temperatures, cross contamination etc. It was 8 hrs long, course held at Smitty's Restaurant, (lunch included, don't pick the chicken) at the end of the day, you wrote a multiple choice exam, not open book but you're allowed to work in groups.

In Kingston, you would contact these guys:

Take this 1 day course "Food Handlers"

Cost: $45

Once I did that, I got my foot in the door of a Hospital and worked as a a 3 month temp, making about $18/hr after in lieu of benefits and vacation. Then, I used that experience on my resume and got my foot in the door of a city owned nursing home making about $17/hr where I stayed for a few years. While working for the city owned home, I got a second job at a private owned nursing home making about $13/hr.

I"m not sure if the requirements have change much since but I hope that this information is useful to you and good luck!
