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.

This class was very easy to learn and follow.
Hi, Course was overall informative, but I noticed discrepancies in some of the sample questions that are confusing toward acquiring this certification
Informative and excellent training course. I feel that I’ve gained a lot of knowledge from taking this course and will recommend it to all of my colleagues.
I was really scared to take this step in my journey to opening my bakery. But this course was clear in it’s presentation of all the information that needed to be addressed. It was the graphics that helped me the best! They were slow and pertained to exactly what was being presented. I liked the multiple choice review quizzes at the end of sections! That helped to calm me down — knowing that I could do this! 🙂
good training
The course was easy to follow and informative.
Found the course to be easy to understand and quick to get through.
Very informative. I learned a lot of necessary things to make me better at my job.
I believe this is the right course of action for me. The instructor did an amazing job at teaching me the proper knowledge about Management Food Safety. I am well pleased with the Course
Great, amazing, and helpful. I enjoyed it.
Very good and very dynamic, everything seemed clear, concise and very helpful. Good information.
Sure! Here’s a clearer and more polished version of your feedback:
1. The volume throughout the module is inconsistent. At one point, the volume dropped significantly, so I increased my speaker volume—then the module suddenly got very loud, which startled me.
2. I wish there were slides or reference materials available. Since all the modules are in video format, it’s difficult to go back and find specific information I want to review.
This course was informative, and well structured. The only thing that could use improvement from the consumer side is the ability to rewind the videos. If there is a loud noise and you miss something, or you are taking notes and do not get to the pause button in time, you have rewatch the entire video to get back to the part that was missed. Other than that it was a lovely impressively interactive experience for an online course.
