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.
In North Dakota, earning a Food Handler Card requires completing a food safety training course accredited by the ANAB. The course teaches key principles such as food hygiene, proper handling techniques, contamination prevention, and strategies to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. It also emphasizes the importance of maintaining a clean and sanitary kitchen environment. This course complies with state regulations and is mandatory for individuals working with food in restaurants, catering companies, and other food service operations.
To receive a North Dakota Food Handlers Card, take and pass a food safety course accredited by the ANAB. Once completed, you’ll receive a recognized card throughout the state.
The Food Handler course is done entirely online and is available 24/7. After finishing the 1.5-hour course, you’ll take a 40-question final exam. You’ll need a score of at least 70% to pass and earn your certificate.
The Food Handler course is perfect for individuals in the food industry, whether you work in a restaurant, café, grocery store, food truck, or concession stand. It’s designed for anyone involved in preparing or serving food.
The Food Handler Course costs just $6.95. Discounts are available for businesses looking to train multiple employees at once.
You can take the Food Handler Certificate in English or Spanish.
No worries—you get two attempts to pass the exam. You’ll have another chance if you fail the first time.
The Food Handler Card is accepted throughout all counties in North Dakota, including significant areas like Cass County.
The Food Handler training helps prevent foodborne illnesses, enhances decision-making in food handling, and ensures proper safety protocols are followed. It also helps businesses reduce complaints and improve workplace morale.

muy informatibo mucha informacion muy inpotante
The training is detailed and very informational/educative. Even as a chartered health & safety professional, i still learned alot from each module.
Well done. I wish there was a way to just read or put this in 2xs the speed. other than that, well done.
The Course was very informative and very well structured.
i learned alot however my kitchen is pretty much a snack bar so it was alot of info i did not need i wish it could be more tailored to what we do.
i did love how modern and up to date all the pic, videos and people were. I feel like most training vids are from the 70s-80s it seems haha
Very well covered of all information needed in aspects of running a commercial kitchen
Easy yo follow and full of good information
Este curso me gusto mucho, es claro, organizado y su contenido es muy secuencial.
He aprendido bastante con cada uno de los modulos.
Great course, and good information
I’ve never taken a food handlers course ever but for my first time it was fairly simple to follow the prompts. The information is clear and concise however, there is a lot of information that is provided and notes are a must. The only downfall is not being able to go back in increments of 10 seconds especially when there is a valuable bit of of information that you want to write down for your notes. If you miss it or aren’t pausing it every 5-10 seconds with subtitles, you will have to watch the video all over again. Overall, GREAT COURSE!
This was very easy to learn from. Good video and graphics. I highly recommend.

Es muy importante tomar este curso para tener excelentes conocimientos sobre la forma correcta de manejo de alimentos para un consumo seguro ya sea para nosotros o para otras personas.
great
This course was very thorough! I gained a lot of knowledge and information that I had no idea existed. Thank you!
I was literally thawing a steak on the counter and put it in the fridge, then watched the section on thawing food. 🙂 Fun stuff.
Does exactly what it needs to, but the artificial voice is grating and the volume is inconsistent
Class was good and informative on the importance of food safety and leadership in the food service business.
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
Thank you AAA. I learned a lot and thank you for this Managers Food Handling course.
Very important
