Food Manager Training and State-Approved Certification Exam

Our online Texas Food Manager Training Program gives you all the information you need to take the Texas Food Manager Certification Exam with confidence. This course covers everything you need to know to become a certified Food Manager.

While other preparation courses merely present basic food manager information, ours covers critical topics and concepts you must know to pass the state-required exam. All the information you need to know for the Food Manager Exam is in our online program.

Save when you purchase the training and exam together. Our Food Manager Exam is approved by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and consists of 75 multiple-choice questions. You will have two attempts to pass the exam with a minimum score of 70% and earn your certification.

How Long Is the Training?

The Food Manager Training Program is 14 hours long and has no final exam. It includes end-of-module quizzes that help you practice for the official Food Manager Certification Exam. Our 100% online course allows you to learn on your own time and at your own pace, eliminating the additional time and expenses associated with in-person classroom training.

This training covers necessary topics and concepts to prepare you for the state-required exam. You also have the option to take our food manager certification exam practice test.

You'll learn best practices for food handlers, techniques for sanitation and preventing foodborne illness, hazard analysis and more — all of which are covered on the state exam. We also provide customer support via email and online live chat if you have any questions.

Do I Need to Take the Food Manager Course in Addition to the Food Manager Examination?

It is your choice whether to take both the Food Manager Program and the Food Manager Examination or to take the exam alone. The State of Texas does not require those intending to take the Food Manager Exam to complete a Food Manager training program first, but it is highly recommended.

Obtaining Your Food Manager Certificate

You must obtain a score of at least 70% on the state certification exam to get certified. If you do not pass the exam on the first attempt, you may retake it once at no additional cost. If you do not pass after two attempts, you must repurchase the exam.

Upon passing the exam, your Food Manager Certificate will immediately be available online for download. Students who complete the food manager course can also download a certificate immediately after course completion.
