In this course, you will learn how proper food handling protects people, meets legal requirements, and reduces the risk of foodborne illness.
Our food handler course is mobile-friendly, allowing you to complete the course wherever there is internet access.
Please note: In some states, the certificate of completion is not your actual food handler license. Always double-check with your employer and local health department for further licensing requirements.
Currently, the State of Utah and the City of San Diego, CA will charge you an additional state/city filing fee when we report your course completion to the state. That fee will be added to your cart. The State/City may change their fee at any time per their discretion.
San Diego City Fee - $3.00. Utah State Fee - $15.00.
