Requirements: In Minnesota, each retail food establishment is required to have at least 1 full-time Certified Food Manager. Minnesota law requires that you pass a proctored exam to become a Certified Food Manager. Our course is not required, but will prepare you to pass the exam. The exam is not included in this course.
Food Safety Certification for Managers
Initial Certification:
The PSCC Food Manager Certification Course has been written to the FDA Food Code and will prepare you to take any of the four exams approved by ANSI and the Conference on Food Protection (CFP). NOTE: Additional fees apply for taking your Certified Food Manager exam. The fees for the CFM exam are not included in this course.

If you are a certified food manager already, you do not need to take the proctored exam. See more information below about our recertification course.
Our course is an interactive course, with video, audio, animations, and flash cards to help you learn the material. At the end of each lesson is a quiz - if you pass the quiz, you move on to the next lesson. If you don't pass or don't feel confident about your progress, there is no additional charge; you just go through the lesson again.
This course is rated at 8 hours, but if you have experience or know the material, you can get through the class quickly. It is also just fine if it takes you longer to get through the course - the most important thing is that you know the material.
Once you have completed the PSCC Food Manager Certification course, you will be instructed on how you can register to take a proctored food manager exam. This exam is administered by a national organization and the fees for the exam are not included in the course.
Note: Local jurisdictions can, and often do, set requirements that exceed those of the state. Potential students are encouraged to check for any additional local requirements.
