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.

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

This course was really easy to undersatnd and it kept your interest
good
Lacking a lot of details. Several contradicting statements. Some review test had questions that had not yet been discussed.
Great information and easy to use course
Interesting tools
All computer training is boring. This was informative and I learned a lot. Thank you AAA.
I found this module very interesting and informative. I also found a few things I did not know about. Thank you for allowing me to use your course.
this review was very informative and easy to follow.
Material was presented well and very easy to follow along.
Each food and beverage facility should have taken this course years ago, a lot of helpful tips.
Well organized, appropriate check points and highly engaging.
it is long but to the point
The video module setup of this course was extremely helpful and was structured in a way that allowed the topics to be broken down. Due to it being video based, it kept me engaged vs. having to sit and read 10 modules of information which could get redundant and can cause the user to lose focus. The other thing I felt was helpful were the mini quizzes to test your learning. That was helpful to make sure you’re understanding what’s being shown. The only thing I would change or explain in better detail are the cooking temperatures for the different types of meats. It felt that was swiftly explained and temperatures weren’t brought up any more after that module, so it’s difficult to remember the temps as they weren’t prioritized the best. Other than that, I would recommend this course to others as it’s information pact and presented in an engaging way.
I needed recertification training fast and on my own time. This was perfect
GOOD STUFF.
