AKO Mashgiach Course - Pesach Mashgichim Edition

The course is divided into 15 sections, each one containing videos and other media focusing on different areas of kosher law and protocol as they relate to supervising a food-service kitchen. 

Most sections are followed by a brief quiz for self evaluation. The quizzes may be taken multiple times and do NOT count towards your final score. 

Once the course is completed you will be eligible to sit for the final exam. The exam has 40 multiple-choice questions which must be completed in one hour. 

The passing grade is 80% and you will be notified of your score upon completion.
