Arizona law requires that each food establishment have at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) who has passed an exam from a nationally accredited food manager certification program through the ANAB and the Conference for Food Protection (CFP). AAA Food Handler offers these accredited programs along with basic food handler training for employees.
Most Arizona counties require food employees to earn a valid food handler card, but beyond compliance, the training helps protect public health. If you handle unpackaged food, knowing proper food safety practices is critical to preventing foodborne illness and protecting your employer’s reputation.
The CDC reported 24 foodborne disease outbreaks in Arizona in 2015, 20 in 2016, and 10 in 2017—a clear decline. By practicing what you learn in food handler training, you play an important role in keeping those numbers down and ensuring safer dining experiences for your customers.
A Food Handler card focuses on basic hygiene, safe food temperatures, and cross-contamination prevention. A Food Protection Manager Certification covers advanced topics such as HACCP principles, employee training, and regulatory compliance. AAA Food Handler provides both, so your entire team can meet Arizona’s standards.
While allergen training is not mandated by the state, it is considered best practice in the Arizona food service industry. AAA Food Handler’s allergen awareness course helps staff identify the top eight allergens and prevent cross-contact, protecting customers with dietary restrictions.
Yes. AAA Food Handler provides 100% online Food Safety Certification programs for both Food Managers and Food Handlers, including the option to take the ANAB accredited exam remotely.
Your Food Protection Manager Certification is valid for five years in Arizona. Renewal requires retaking an ANAB and Conference for Food Protection (CFP) accredited exam.
In Arizona, the person in charge of a food establishment must be able to show knowledge of foodborne illness prevention and safe handling practices. While statewide law doesn’t always require a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) credential, earning one is a strong way to prove compliance.
Local jurisdictions may impose stricter rules. For instance, Maricopa County requires at least one CFPM to be on staff and available during all hours of operation, either in person or by phone/electronic communication.
With over 10 years of experience in food handler, food manager, and allergen safety education, AAA Food Handler delivers training that meets state and county health department requirements while holding ANAB accredited credentials.
Yes. Certifications from AAA Food Handler are nationally accredited through the ANAB and approved by the Conference for Food Protection (CFP), making them accepted in most states.

This course was quick but still held vital information that helped me learn more about being a food handler in the industry. The content covered held all of the basics along with some new information I did not know about prior.
Very thorough, maybe a little to much because i don’t remember the course being this long some years ago. I fear as time goes on it will just get longer and longer and not focus on the main points. a lot of this could have been put in a separate training course later down the road.
easy to complete
This is the most comprehensive course i have ever taken
The training used many tools like videos and pictures to help with the food handler training. Very informative!
Was very easy and simple to complete.
so good
I learned somethings I didnt know and found the program easy to navigate
This was a very easy course to follow and take the exam. Thanks for making it very clear and simple.
Very well done
The division of an apparent continuous video added an unneeded level of complexity to the course. In my opinion I there were no division, not only would the course be faster, but also smoother for the student. Along with this, the speed at which the information is read was very slow. With the combination of extended pauses, the videos were lengthened to an unnecessary degree. However, the interactive parts of the videos were quite engaging and gave the student a reason to comprehend what they had been explained.
Learned a lot about food safety.
It was pretty easy to follow along and imformative
Easy and fast fantastic

Was very informative and helpful
This was just a longer version of the standard food handlers course. Feels more bureaucratic than useful.
Would like take away notes and to be able to rewind and replay without starting over. Excellent presentation and useful thank you
Every course was easy to understand and to remember! Everything was fantastic.
Great and fun to learn!
This course has been extremely informative about how to properly handle food when cooking cooling and storing. Not handling food properly could cause illness and even death. It is always safe to follow proper procedures and guideline when preparing food. Where you dine is equally as important as to where your purchase food for cooking. For our own safety and the safety of our loved ones it is important that we do everything possible to stay safe from any foodborne illnesses. Those of us that prepare food for others must be aware of all dangers that could take place by not washing our hands effectively. There is so must to learn about keeping everyone safe in the food industry, this course is an important leap forward in doing just that. There should be no corners cut when preparing food.
Course was easy to maneuver through. English was presented clear and understandable. I like the fact you can pause and pick up later where you left off without trying to find out where you left off at. It starts automatically.
Great

SImple, informative, and decent time.
Long, but good
This training was very helpful with helping food preparers understand the severity of food allergens and how to work with foods that cause potential allergies.
It was good.
Most staff members take this course while still performing other on the clock duties. The case study does not offer anything productive to the course, and increases the time (and cost) to go through unnecessarily.
Other than that, solid and informative.
easy and informative
Loved it. Easy, fast, and reliable and worth it.
Very good leaning experience
Not bad pricing well worth it.
Very Informative and most salient in today’s restaurant industry.
great
It was a course, but honestly, this could of been done during the food handlers course. No reason to pay an extra $13 for a course
For starters, I love the freedom of working from home. Being able to review each module a second time if necessary allows the ability to get a clear understanding of the lesson. The practice test preps you for the final exam!
