Centralized Intern Training and Authorization
Distance Learning
The two CIT training tracks, Food Protection and Facilities and On-Site Wastewater, both include a distance learning portion that must be completed before attending the classroom sessions. On the first day of class there will be a closed-book pre-test covering the distance education course materials of the track you are attending.
All distance education materials are linked below under the Food Protection and Facilities or the On-Site Wastewater track. Most files are PowerPoint or Adobe PDF. If you are taking the FPF track you will find the FDA ORAU materials are available on the Kaplan Eduneering site. You must first register to obtain login credentials.
