Built on a commitment to accessible, professional education for every working Floridian.
NEAL Institute — the National Education and Learning Institute — was founded with a single mission: to make professional certification accessible, affordable, and straightforward for working people across Florida and beyond.
We started with ServSafe® Food Manager Certification because food safety compliance is one of the most pressing needs for restaurants, hotels, schools, and food businesses of every size. A certified food manager is required by law in the majority of U.S. states — and we make getting there simple.
Our courses are taught by experienced, credentialed instructors in small class settings, ensuring every student walks away prepared to pass their exam and apply their knowledge on the job.
We're building out a full suite of professional certification programs. Here's where we are today and where we're headed.
The majority of U.S. states require that food service establishments have at least one certified food protection manager on staff. Failure to comply can result in fines, failed inspections, or temporary closure. NEAL Institute makes it easy to get your team compliant — quickly and affordably.
