How can I take the Food Safety Manager Certification Exam?

Anyone may take the Certified Food Safety Manager Exam regardless of education, background, or experience; however, work experience, studying, or taking a course in food safety and sanitation is recommended before taking the Exam.

There is no specific age limit requirement, as long as the examinee has a Valid government-issued photo ID with a signature – driver’s license, state ID, student ID, military ID, employee ID, green card, or passport. Examinees cannot use a photocopy. Examinees cannot take the Exam without a valid photo ID.

NOTE: Check with your local health agency to see if you are required to take a course or other training prior to taking the Exam. Some states require an approved course before taking the exam.
