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.

I liked how short each lesson was and the areas that they made interactive so you didn’t just sit through a boring lesson. It’s about 1.5 hours and the questions of the exam were easy to understand.

very easy to learn from detail learning
I’m very happy that I choose AAAfroodhandler, everything is actually very easy and clear.
I learned a lot while taking this course especially about the different types of food born illness’s that can occur from different types of foods.
We went over everything I needed to know to get my certification.
Great and informative training!
This course covers everything it needs to, and I was happy to hear it is majority women and minority owned. The material is presented in an easily digestible way.
At the same time, the AI voice is grating to me, it is distracting and sometimes messes up pronunciation, making the material more confusing than it needs to be. Also, sometimes review questions are asked about material that is not yet covered, specifically in the section about different pathogens. Lastly, please stop spreading the misinformation that MSG is a dangerous additive, this is and has always been untrue and racist, and has been debunked over and over.
the course was laid out very well and easy to understand. The quizzes were helpful in testing my knowledge of the material and helped me know my weak points so that i cold work on them
It was a good learning and training for food manager course
Excellent course, my only gripe with it was the inability to move forward or back if I missed something. Had to replay the module completely. I understand not allowing moving forward, but it would be great if it could allow going back a few seconds.
This was a great program I’ve learned so much for home and business.
simple and concise
Was a great training for the exam. It was very helpful.
this course was very informative and helped me prepare for the required tests.
This was an easy way to learn at your own pace.
This was easy to follow along. I liked that I could do it at my own pace. I liked how it had questions after the courses to make sure you were understanding what they were teaching.

it is Contains all the information a Bartender needs to be able to serve alcohol
Really helpful information that was easily understandable
so so
Had a great experience receiving my TABC certification through AAA Food Handler!
Never a dull moment
very informative
It was straight forward! The frequent quizzes in between were good in verifying retention of knowledge and checking that we are paying attention. However, although I know that this program focuses on safety, I wish there was way more technical information on the preparation aspect of bartending such as alcohol types, mixing, and measurements for those of us that have never been behind a bar. I also noticed an inaccuracy; in one of the sections it states that 18-20 year old bartenders cannot pour alcohol but this is not true. According to the B & P Code 25663 – Employment of Minors on the federal ABC website as of currently, it says that within certain restrictions minors between the ages of 18-20 can serve alcohol. This service of alcohol describes delivery, presentation, opening, and/or pouring of alcohol. Please update this as it is important for those of us between the ages of 18-20 looking to bartend to have access to accurate information.
easy
The train was long, but very informative.
Quick and simple and informative
Great visuals and was effortless when progressing through models. Quizzes throughout program really hit it to home base.
This training is very straightforward and has mini tests along the way to see what you’ve learned.

Needs more on in-house controls and possible pitfalls do to inappropriate behavior by staff.
