Anyone working with unpackaged food, food-contact surfaces, utensils, or equipment in Indiana should take the Food Handler Certificate Course. This includes cooks, dishwashers, servers, bartenders, deli clerks, grocery staff, and more.

Even though it’s not legally required, the Food Handler Certificate Course helps you learn how to prevent foodborne illness, follow proper food safety procedures, and reduce workplace risks. It also gives you a hiring advantage in Indiana’s growing food service industry.

You’ll learn about foodborne illness prevention, time and temperature controls, personal hygiene, handwashing, safe food storage, cleaning and sanitizing procedures, and avoiding cross-contamination and allergen risks.

To earn your Indiana Food Handlers Card, you must complete the online training and pass the 40-question final exam with a 70% or higher score. You have two attempts to pass, and upon passing, you can instantly download and print your certificate.

Typically valid for 5 years. Renewal is required before the expiration date. Always check with your local health department for updates.

Most Indiana food handler certificates are valid for 3 years. However, employers or local health departments may have renewal guidelines, so it’s best to check with them.

I think we can admit going through a full training course for food handling again after yours expired, is tedious. But this was a breeze to get through! The questions were the word for word explanations you got prior to the test.

Very easy to follow and you have the ability to break up the course so you don’t have to do it all at once. Only feedback is sometimes the information was given quickly before moving to the next slide – it would be helpful to pause so we can jot things down. Otherwise it was great!

I enjoyed the pace at which the topics were discussed and the questions at the end of each portion. I feel confident that the test will go well because of this.

October 7, 2025

Does the job, I guess, but this course is poorly scripted and organized, with numerous grammatical mistakes and a grating AI voice-over. If I hadn’t taken a food-handling course before, I think I would’ve been even more confused. I recommend looking elsewhere for certification.
