Education is the best tool to prevent, minimize, or eliminate foodborne illnesses and food hazards.
Training helps reduce or eliminate food safety hazards before they become major issues.
Reducing food safety complaints will create a happier workplace and in turn increase productivity.
Numerous professionals nationwide have already earned and renewed their card with AAA Food Handler — a trusted name in food safety training.
The Delaware Food Handlers Card is awarded after completing a state-recognized food safety training program accredited by ANAB. This course educates food service employees on critical safety practices, including proper food handling, hygiene standards, preventing cross-contamination, minimizing foodborne illnesses, and maintaining cleanliness. It also addresses regulations specific to Delaware. Obtaining this card is essential for individuals working in food preparation, service, or storage roles in restaurants, mobile food units, cafeterias, and similar establishments throughout the state.
There is no difference—Both terms refer to the document you receive after completing a recognized food safety course. Some counties or employers may refer to it as a “card,” but the certificate serves the same purpose—it proves you’ve completed an approved food safety course.
To get started with your Food Handler Certificate, select your state under the Food Handler tab, then click “Purchase English” or “Purchase Spanish.” Create your profile, complete the payment, and you can begin the course immediately.
After completing the course and passing the final assessment, you’ll receive a Delaware Food Handler Certificate. This document verifies that you have been trained in key food safety concepts and practices, and it can be shown to employers or health inspectors when required.
The course takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete. It’s self-paced, so you can log in and out at your convenience.
Once enrolled, you’ll have full access to the Delaware Food Handler Course materials for 3 months for Food Handler and 1 year for Food Manager. That means you can review and study the content whenever it’s convenient for you.
Employers can take advantage of our bulk purchase options with discounted pricing. Once purchased, courses can be easily assigned to staff members. Managers also gain access to a centralized dashboard to track employee progress, manage certifications, and generate detailed reports for compliance and Course oversight.
You’ll have two attempts to pass the final exam at no additional cost. If you fail on your first try, you can review the course material and retake the test when ready.
To get your Delaware Food Handler Card, complete a course accredited by the ANAB. After finishing the course and passing the exam, you’ll receive a valid Food Handler Card accepted across the state
This course is approved and accredited by ANAB to meet Delaware’s food safety standards. It is recognized for use throughout the state, including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, and aligns with all required guidelines for the Food Handler certificate.
Holding a Delaware food handler card shows you how to safely handle, prepare, and serve food. It helps reduce the risk of foodborne illness and ensures you meet state compliance requirements for employment in restaurants and other food service settings.
Non-potentially hazardous foods like baked goods (without cream or custard), jams, jellies, candies, dry mixes, and granola. These must be shelf-stable and not require refrigeration.
The AAA Food Handler Card meets the food safety training requirement for Delaware’s Cottage Food Law, provided the course is accredited by the ANAB. The Delaware Division of Public Health recognizes this certification as meeting the necessary training requirements for cottage food operators.

Sure
All is easy to learn
The training course includes a lot of important information. The course also has a lot of pictures, which is great for visual learners. it goes by pretty fast. I would like the option to skip through the parts that i already reviewed, as some parts does let you skip after you properly went through them. overall i would definitely recommend this to other employers.
This course was great! long but worth it.
This course was informative, and I learned a lot throughout the modules.
Really good and detailed training well explained as well very helpful.
I found the material to be incredibly informative and relevant. I wasn’t fully aware of the importance of food safety until now—thank you for providing such valuable insights.
A straightforward course, easy to follow and complete.
Watching these trainings and videos helped me understand a lot and now to make changes at home as well very thorough and understanding. I would definitely recommend this site for training to anyone I give 10/10
This training provided the information I needed to know for confidence as an aspiring new; first-time food service provider. The only thing I can think of at this time that I would like to see for improvement of food manager training is an area within the training course to ask or submit questions for clarification about information in each section or module of the course. For example, being able to ask questions about the comparison of functions in various states, such as the function of large, garage-door-style openings from indoor dining rooms to outdoor patio seating for customers (witnessed frequently in commercial food service establishments). This is in regard to the portion of training on keeping doors and windows closed, screened, and as recommended, having an air-curtain on doors.

Great Training
I appreciate taking the thorough time to explain, ask, and for me to answer these valuable questions.
Okay thank you
Amazing!
very easy
It was very especific
Learned some good info
Overall, the training offered was informative. However, there are parts of the testing process which included questions not covered in the specific modules previously viewed (although were covered in later modules). Also, you can’t “rewind” the training during a specific module unless you go to start the module over. This makes it difficult to relisten to important info from that specific module.

This was great but I want to recommend being able to rewind a video. When taking notes if someone misses something, they can’t just go back 10, 20, 30 seconds – they have to rewatch the whole video.
Good and informative
It was very easy to follow. Very detailed.
I liked the information they provided. It was helpful in ways of actually learning to utilize safe and proper practices in the food business.
Great test and alot of good information
