Welcome!

The Deli Operators Training Program for U.S. Deli Meats & Cheeses is a joint program sponsored by the U.S. Dairy Export Council (USDEC), the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) and the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council (USAPEEC). 

The purpose of this program is to educate food retailers in international markets about ways to improve deli case management and increase sales of U.S. deli meats and cheeses.  At present, this pilot program is only available in the Caribbean and Central America.

This site was developed to assist deli department staff participating in the deli certification program.

If you are a deli staff enrolled in this program (see requirements), you are only a few steps away from completing the certification.  Your first step will be to create a user profile by selecting the Registration button above.   You will then be able to review the Training Materials on-line or select the Exams button to proceed to the test area.  Upon successful completion of the four exams, the program sponsors will award you the deli certificate.

If you are a visitor, please feel free to look around.  Should you have any comments/questions or be interested in implementing such a program in your store or market, please contact us at deli@usdec.org.

On behalf of the U.S. cheese, meat and poultry industries we thank you for your interest, time and effort in improving your deli operations and promoting U.S. quality deli products.

Best of luck!

USDEC, USMEF and USAPEEC
