About Tap Series Training
The TAP FSMC program has been the subject of Federal and State sponsored studies conducted by two major universities.

Ohio State Department of Health required study conducted by The Ohio State University Study participants included people with educational levels ranging from Master of Science degree to those who could not read. This study achieved a 100% certification examination pass rate.

A Federal Grant Study conducted by the University of Illinois compared the TAP FSMC program to a traditional college level classroom course and concluded, "...no significant difference in course performance or test scores were found" and that the program is  "…an acceptable and appropriate alternative for traditional lecture-based sanitation training."

TAP Pass Assurance Standards (PAS) warranty:  The Ohio Study achieved its 100% certification examination pass rate by developing a set of study standards and requiring their use.  These same study standards are now the PAS warranty study standards.  Standards that, when followed by the student, assure that if the examination is not passed the student will be re-trained and re-examined again at no further cost.
