Know Before You Train
A Kern County Food Manager Certification is an official certification that verifies a professional has successfully completed an ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) Accredited program and passed a recognized food safety exam. It ensures the manager can enforce safe food practices per Kern County Environmental Health regulations.
Any establishment in Kern County that prepares, serves, or handles non-prepackaged food, including restaurants, cafés, school kitchens, and food trucks, must designate at least one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) on-site.
AAA Food Handler provides online, on-demand training aligned with Kern County and California Health Code requirements. After completing the interactive course, managers take an ANAB-CFP-accredited exam through online proctoring to earn their CFPM certification.
Per Kern County Environmental Health Division and California Health & Safety Code §113947, at least one certified manager must be assigned to oversee the handling of potentially hazardous foods. Temporary food service providers are not required to hold certification.
Certified managers actively prevent contamination, maintain operational efficiency, and strengthen credibility with inspectors and customers. Studies show that skilled food managers dramatically reduce outbreaks caused by Salmonella, Norovirus, and other pathogens.

I had connectivity issues with logging into the portal.
I highly recommend that you take this course. The videos are short and to the point while also being very informative. The end of the lesson review quizzes are short and multiple choice, detailed without being overwhelming. The information in general is easy to follow and understand. I’ve already did the Food Handler, Responsible Alcohol Server and Allergen Certifications through here and I’ve passed all with two at 95% and one at 100% that’s how easy and knowledgeable the courses are.
Was informative.
