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.

Training was very Convenient and Thorough!
Na
good
Good Course full of lots of good information
I took this course in order to start a food vendor business in the state of Virginia. I like that it was very convenient, covered all the bases without giving me information overload.
which we could skip the parts we know an learn more of what we need to not more about …. other then that was ok
I wish a class could be more directly pertaining to food trucks.
Pay attention.
Some of the bullet point details moved too fast to take notes. All and all, very informative
Quizzes, etc… seemed to do a good job of keeping me on track and locking in some of the important info.

the fact that this test is now required for all alcohol servers regardless if you’re only serving beer and wine in California should be free. These companies should not be gaining profits for something that is required.
Great job breaking up the modules. Love that you can stop and start the training.
great course

I enjoyed the course
Informative and helpful
This training is a requirement but it was so damn glitchy that I almost had a meltdown. I ended up having to rewatch/listen to almost every single segment because it wouldn’t allow me to continue 90% of the sections even though I’d watch it all the way through. I had to watch multiple segments 3 or even 4 times before the dang thing would let me proceed! It was the most frustrating certificate class I’ve ever had to partake in.
Very good
It was incredible helpful to learn the proper handling of prepping and serving food
Very informative videos and challenging exam
educational
The videos were informative and able to hold my attention, I would definitely recommend taking this coure
I genuinely enjoyed the course. Very informative and presented in a way that was practical and easy to understand. Loved learning new information that the general food worker class doesn’t expand on.
Good source of education
The course was very helpful, and informative. I enjoyed the material and It prepared me very well for the Next Exam and for my job.
Thank you
easy to follow and learn from
Very Informative! What I grow up knowing and what you guys have provided was amazing! Everyone should have to experience this course!
I just opened a Mobile Food Truck, and being new to the industry, having access to the AAA Food Manager training was great! The course very informative, and manageable. I certain fell more confident while on food industry serving my community and beyond.
I did it
Not only was the training effective in knowing the detriments of not be cautious in the workplace, but several of the modules were applicable outside of food handling services.
