The initial certification class lasts approximately eight hours, plus a one hour exam.

The four hour re-certification class is designed to renew a three-year Minnesota Department of Health Food Manager Certificate (testing is not required,) or a five-year ServSafe® Certificate (testing at the re-certification class required.) You must hold a current MDH FM Certificate or have a valid ServSafe® Certificate that has not expired to be eligible to take this class. If you are unsure if you are eligible, please call the Minnesota Department of Health at (651) 201-4500.

About the Test:
A minimum score of 75% is needed to pass. Tests are electronically scored and the results are received in approximately two weeks. A certificate of completion and the MDH application form is sent to each participant with the test scores.
