Get or Renew Your Florida Food Handler Card
Finish in 90 minutes on any device.
Complete your accredited training online, pass the test, and your Florida food handler card is on your screen the moment you pass. Florida has a separate rule for restaurants and hotels — pick your situation below and we’ll point you the right way.
Restaurants and hotels have their own requirement
Florida restaurants and hotels are licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and their food employees must be trained through a DBPR-approved provider — our course isn’t one of them, so it won’t meet that requirement. In most cases your employer arranges this training, so start by asking your manager.
En español: los restaurantes y hoteles de Florida deben capacitar a sus empleados a través de un proveedor aprobado por el DBPR. Nuestro curso no cumple con ese requisito — consulte con su empleador. Para todos los demás — comida casera, escuelas, atención médica y más — nuestra capacitación sí es aceptada.
