Know Before You Train

What is Food Manager Certification in Harris County?

Food Manager Certification in Harris County demonstrates that you possess the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent foodborne illnesses and maintain safe food handling practices. It’s required that at least one certified manager be present in every food establishment.

Who Needs a Food Manager Certification in Harris County?

Managers, executive chefs, and supervisors with authority over food operations must hold certification. While it’s legally required for one manager per establishment, many restaurants and catering services expect all leadership staff to be certified.

How Do I Get Certified in Harris County?

Complete an ANSI- or ANAB-accredited training program and pass the approved exam. AAA Food Handler provides fully online, 24/7 courses in English and Spanish, allowing you to start, pause, and resume at your convenience.

How Long is the Certification Valid?

Food Manager Certification in Harris County is valid for five years. To maintain compliance, managers must retake the exam before expiration to renew their certification.

Can I Take the Exam Online?

Yes. The exam is taken online with live proctor monitoring, ensuring your exams are secure and recognized by Texas DSHS and local health authorities.

What if My Internet Connection Drops During the Online Exam?

If your internet connection disconnects during the exam, don’t worry — your progress will be saved, and you can resume once the connection is restored. However, if the exam session needs to be rescheduled due to a complete interruption, a $25 rescheduling fee will apply. AAA Food Handler ensures you can complete your exam smoothly and securely.

Is Out-of-State Certification Valid in Harris County?

Yes, but only if it’s from an ANAB-accredited program. Some cities, like Houston, may require a reciprocity application for local recognition. Always check with your local health department before assuming validity.

Can a Temporary Manager Handle Food Without Certification?

No. Harris County law mandates that at least one certified food manager with authority over food operations be present at all times. Temporary staff can only assist under the supervision of a certified manager.

What if I Fail the Food Manager Exam on My First Try?

Failing doesn’t prevent certification. You can retake the exam according to your course package rules. AAA Food Handler provides one free retest on certain packages, helping you meet Texas DSHS and local requirements without delays.

Why is Food Manager Certification Important in Harris County?

Certified managers establish and enforce food safety policies, train staff, and ensure adherence to regulatory compliance. This reduces the risk of foodborne illness, protects your business, and enhances workplace productivity and customer confidence.

This is a great training all the way around. It is long and a little arduous, but well worth it. It is very informative and simple to understand. The training is divided into 10 sessions, each of which is further broken down into various sections. These sections are very straightforward. Very easy to take notes and follow through. The only negative thing I have to say is that if you miss something being said, you can’t scroll backwards; you have to repeat that lesson of that section.

Thorough but needs work

November 16, 2025

I found the course to be standard in almost all the information provided however, particularly at the earlier points in the course, I found several instances of information that should have been taught concurrently was split up. This non-linear dissemination made written note taking quite problematic and impeded what could be a more natural flow throughout the lessons. The topic that this was most prevalent in was the discussion of Bio Hazards including discussion of various pathogens. I specifically recall a lesson review with questions regarding Trichinella and Shiga Toxin when they had not yet been covered in the course. Immediately following that review section, those topics were then covered. Outside of those issues I found the course to be rather buggy. I used an iPad A16 (2025) with the latest software update as of today 11/16/25. Also as a note, it would be very helpful to rewind each video along the slider bar to a specific point rather than having to replay the entire video.
