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.

Was easy to understand
The modules were very informative and gave a lot of insight although the voice for the modules would be better if it was voiced fully

Having to click three times to move through modules is a waste of time.

Took right about an hour and a half, like it said it would. The videos did have an automated voice, which was okay. The animations were decent, so it wasn’t awful sitting through it. Gave a good overview of food handling safety.
well-organized

This course was relatively quick. Everything presented was done so in a simple, easy to understand way and was also quick and to the point. I took notes, but I feel that the review questions along the way were helpful and I probably didn’t need the extra notes I have.
I enjoyed the course, I enjoyed the pace, the visuals, the explanations etc!
It was a very long course but it helped me a lot to prepare for the exam.

I have learned so much about the proper way to handle food
Very well explained and expressed
and easy to understand to put into practice
This training was very informative and easy to follow. It was great that you could go at your own pace, especially in my case where I needed to break it up into different times do to my busy schedule. I liked that I could go back to certain points of the video if needed and I could rewatch all together if there were any points I felt like I didn’t fully comprehend while watching. I also appreciate that captions were available! I have a difficult time hearing, so that is a very useful tool for someone like me!
It was long but they had parts that I found helpful and it was good it was just super long that’s all
Thorough and easy to follow
considero que a sido una clase muy importante

Porque es necesario para la salud
Porque son cosas muy inportantes para la salud
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.
fun
very efficient and helpful
