Since 2000, California law has required each retail food facility to have at least one owner, manager, supervisor, or other person certified as a Food Safety Manager, also known as ServSafe® or Food Protection Manager. Our food manager courses are half-day programs in ENGLISH followed by a bi-lingual (English and Spanish), 85 multiple-choice examination. Exam-only options are also available. The exam and certificate are ANSI/ASTM Accredited and approved nationally and by all California counties. Certification is good for five (5) years in California. If you have a Certified Food Manager Certificate, you do not need a Food Handler Card.
