BOCA RATON, Fla. (Aug 18, 2025) – Trust20, a leading provider of online food safety training and certification, has partnered with Honorlock, the premier online proctoring solution, to significantly improve the security and user experience for food service professionals seeking certifications.
Trust20, known for its comprehensive, mobile-friendly courses in food handling, allergy awareness, and food protection management, sought a proctoring partner that could meet its rigorous demands for security, efficiency, and responsiveness for its ANAB-accredited certification programs.
“At Trust20, our commitment is to deliver the most reliable, secure, and user-friendly food safety certifications in the industry,” said Stephanie Russell, CEO of Trust20. “After a thorough evaluation, it became clear that Honorlock’s innovative technology, robust security measures, and dedication to proactive partnership perfectly align with our values. Their ability to provide a seamless experience for all candidates will significantly enhance the integrity and accessibility of our programs.”
A key factor in the decision was Honorlock’s commitment to collaboration. “We are excited to have a partner that will help co-create our solutions as we respond to ever-changing industry needs,” added Russell. “A critical issue for us was the failure to translate pre-test instructions and proctor chat into Spanish, creating significant barriers for our Spanish-speaking test takers, even though our exam content was translated. Honorlock demonstrated a clear understanding of these challenges and a strong commitment to working as a team to overcome them.”
Honorlock’s advanced proctoring technology and dedication to a superior user experience directly address Trust20’s requirements. The platform’s robust security features provide the assurance Trust20 needs to protect the integrity of its certifications. Moreover, Honorlock’s streamlined process and responsive support are designed to minimize technical disruptions, simplify setup (no download required), and provide on-demand exam access (no scheduling required), ensuring a smoother journey for every candidate. Trust20 also noted the clarity and simplicity of Honorlock Hub’s data reporting and HD session viewer, offering new possibilities for continuous improvement and manager visibility with a view of real-time proctoring insights.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with Trust20, an organization that shares our dedication to excellence and integrity in certification,” said Michael Hemlepp, CEO of Honorlock. “Our goal is to empower organizations like Trust20 with a proctoring solution that not only ensures exam security but also enhances the overall experience for every individual. We are committed to providing the proactive support and innovative solutions Trust20 needs to continue its vital work in food safety education.”
This partnership marks a significant step forward for Trust20, reinforcing their commitment to delivering secure, accessible, and high-quality food safety certifications nationwide.
