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.
Owners and managers can monitor employee performance, track course completions, and generate reports through the platform’s management tools.
ANAB accredits the Food Handler course and satisfies North Dakota’s food safety training requirements. It is accepted across all counties and cities, including Fargo, Bismarck, and Grand Forks.

Taking this course as a refresher since I had already taken one for a different region is really helpful and really digs the information deep into my brain.
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.
good

Great
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!
Very informative and easy to follow and understand
I really appreciate how everything is broken down in this course. I also really appreciated the depth at which these topics are covered.
This course was very helpful and beneficial to the understanding of my duties as a manager. It also helped me prepare for my exam.
As someone who took FCS in high school and has worked, front of house, in restaurants, this was mostly review but was easy to follow and broken down in a way that anyone could understand.
Good information up to date training. Help me under temperature and danger zone.

I have been certified before, through a different course. This course was full of important information. Although it took quite some time to go through all the videos, it was definitely informative and i feel i have the knowledge base i need to succeed at my place of business.
Very informative when opening a resteraunt.
I liked the way the course was laid out—it was easy to follow and understand. My only complaint is that you can’t rewind any of the videos until you’ve finished watching the entire thing
it helped me understand and having more knowledge in working in the food business. it allowed me to prepare for working in the food business.
the course of training was easy to follow and easy to learn. it helped me prepare for restaurant working.
I appreciate the straight to the point style of this course. It didn’t have a bunch of fluff to confuse the mind when it came to the reviews. 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.
This course was in bite-size, easy to understand sections with review questions throughout to make sure one understands the information. Even working in the food industry for 13 years, I learned several things. Thank you!

very to the point
it was nice having it broken up into two sections
Accidentally moving forward and trying to return to previous spot was impossible. You have to restart the who section even if you knew which spot you left off.quiz is too slow moving and buttons had to be tapped multiple times to move on.
Most of the information is what we are already trained to do, but there were things that were new to me and I’m glad I learned here, rather than having to experience them, firsthand at work and be confused.
