Know Before You Train
What is an Austin City Food Manager Certification and Why is it Required?
An Austin food manager certification proves that a manager has the knowledge and skills to prevent foodborne illness and maintain safe operations. Austin Public Health follows the Texas Food Establishment Rules (TFER), which require at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) per food service establishment. The original certificate must be displayed in a visible location for customers.
How Do I Get My Food Manager Certification in Austin City?
To become certified, you must pass a Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)-approved exam or an ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB/ANSI-CFP) accredited Food Protection Manager exam. AAA Food Handler offers both options fully online:
- Complete an optional self-paced training course.Â
- Take the proctored exam (about 90 minutes).Â
- Score at least 75% to pass and download your certificate immediately.
Your certification is valid for five years anywhere in Texas.
Do I Have to Take a Training Course Before the Exam?

How Long Does the Certification Last and How Do I Renew it?
Your Austin food manager certification remains valid for five years. To renew, simply retake and pass an approved exam before the certificate expires.
