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.

Was good
This course was very helpful and taught me a lot of information that I will need when starting a food business. However, as someone who learns through interacting with problems and questions, rather that just watching videos, I think I could have learned more if there were more problems and questions to answer throughout the videos.
Good but long
It was easy to do and fun to see Maria making weird faces
Very important
Great, fun, and easy-to-do modules. Would recommend it to anyone looking to get their certification!

Love how it was well explained. Very easy friendly
it was great
very informative and taught me a lot of things I did not know.
There is so much that goes into managing a restaurant. Getting trained in proper back and front of house food handling protocol is time consuming, but so necessary when it comes to wanting to provide your customers with the best service possible. Thank you!
Great course if you want to know all aspects of food management and handling. From running a cottage stand or large restaurant, all the key information is part of this course.
clear concise easily understandable
Excellent information and feeling super prepared for the test!

Preparation for managing food saftey
muy buen curso
the class was very well put together and thank you for offering this online
the lady explains each session with full details. pictures and charts are very helpful
Thank you for the detailed, step by step training.
I appreciated the clear method of explaining requirements along with visual aide. This course helped me better understand the differences and correlation between biological, chemical, physical, and cross-contamination hazards. I wasn’t aware of all of the risks involved in the food service industry. Not only am I able to help create a safe environment for our food business, but am more aware of the conditions and potential risks while taking my family out to eat at other food establishments. I am grateful that standards, policy, and procedures have been put in place to help keep people safe. In addition, I appreciated the mini-quiz opportunities with the immediate feedback to help me better monitor my progress.
Very informative
It definitely went faster than I expected. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the course and learned a lot.

The training modules were informative and easy to follow, unlike the previous website that had me stuck answering one question that never seemed to be the right answer. I want to get my money back from them. It was unfair treatment.
Course layout was user friendly. Course content was easy to digest and provided in an extremely learnable fashion.
The video needs to be watched twice before changing chapter
it was good and long

Easy, and informative
Great

Amazing training
Easy to follow

The course regularly repeats information, even if that information was shared only moments ago. It also features an uncomfortable AI voiceover alongside stock photos of a woman, supposedly the same person. The course spends a lot of time sharing redundant or unnecessary information, much of which is completely unrelated to the subject matter of the module or the course as a whole
Very good training course
