The quick answer is that this certificate lasts for 3 years. It is a personal certificate which means that you can take it to another job. It is your certificate!
The long answer is that it is based on two important points. Firstly, the FDA Food Code recommends that every learner has the opportunity to update their knowledge on a timely basis.
In addition, many States insist that you receive training within 30 days of employment and this knowledge must be re-tested every 3 years. Also, training programs should be accredited by ANSI.

Here are the answers to some of our most frequently asked questions.
What is a food handler's card?
A food handlers card is a certificate that shows that you have completed food safety training approved for your state or county.
Who needs food handlers training?
The law varies from state to state as regards mandatory versus voluntary knowledge of food safety.
In 6 states – California, Texas, Illinois, Arizona, West Virginia, New Mexico, (and some local jurisdictions) – they require ALL food handlers within their limits to have a food handler training certificate from an ANAB-accredited certificate program, demonstrating compliance with ASTM E2659, Standard Practice for Certificate Programs, an American National Standard.
Since the government introduced the Food Safety Modernization Act in 2011, it has become very clear that any business that cannot prove their staff has had basic Food Handler training (either via a course or training from a certified Food Manager), is highly vulnerable to penalties should there be any foodborne illness problems arising.
Is Always Food Safe's food handler certificate different from ServSafe or other companies?
It's the same thing. ServSafe is similar to ourselves and is one of the training providers that have achieved ANAB Accreditation status. Several other training providers have also attained ANAB accreditation.
This means that you can be assured that all ANAB-accredited companies have gone through a rigorous checking process to ensure they meet the standards required.
This is an intensive, 12-month process and the few training providers that are awarded ANAB accreditation can justifiably be proud of gaining this prestigious recognition!
All these organizations, (training providers), meet the required standards for accrediting courses. The course content is the same, although chapter headings and the order of the chapters may vary. All courses include cooking temperatures, fridge/freezer temperatures, bacterial multiplication, cleaning, and pest control because these items must be in line with current Government guidelines. (FDA Food Code 2017).
How long does it take to get a food handlers certificate?
Our course only takes around 2 hours to complete.
How long does a food handler accreditation last?
Different states, counties, and cities have different rules on how often they expect you to refresh your Food Handler learning – in some places, it’s every year, and in others, every 3 years. Check our information on your local requirements for more information.
Will my food handlers card work in other states?
Taking an ANAB-accredited course means you have met very high standards. The vast majority of local and state health officials are aware of ANAB and by proving your knowledge, you will be demonstrating a strong understanding of food safety.
Taking an ANAB-accredited course will give your local or state health official more confidence in your knowledge. A Health Official is more interested in ensuring that you have received relevant training, that it matches current laws, and more importantly, that you understand the reasons behind food safety and that you are applying food safety practices and methods to your work/role.
Ultimately, your local or state health official is there to ensure that you provide safe food to the public. They are there to help you and by showing them that you have taken an ANAB-accredited course and have passed the exam, you are demonstrating that learning has taken place and you are contributing to your “due diligence” defense.
The most important point is that you receive training, understand it, and implement it!
When must I renew my food safety training?
Again, different states, counties, and cities have different rules on how often they expect you to refresh your Food Handler learning – in some places, it’s every year, and in others, every 3 years. Check our information on your local requirements for more information.

"I've been working with the Always Food Safe company - they have a series of videos that are, in my opinion, a little more modern and interesting than the Serve-Safe series. We schedule a single training where we watch the videos together, with breaks and discussion regarding how the material relates to specific parts of our operation. We then move into a computer lab and test immediately after the training. I've been very happy with their product and the ease of completing the training - also super easy to get yourself approved as a proctor."
