About This Course
Before you can earn your Food Manager Certification, you must pass an exam. If you're already certified, remember that Texas requires you to renew your certification every five years.
We make the process quick and easy! Our food manager exam is fully approved in Texas and 100% online—no need to schedule a proctored session or pay extra fees.
Once you enroll, you can begin the test immediately. You must complete the exam within 90 minutes. You’ll need a minimum score of 71% to pass. If you pass, you can print your Food Manager Certification right away!
What If I Don't Complete the Exam in 90 Minutes?
Texas state regulations require that the Food Manager Certification Exam be completed within 90 minutes. If you do not finish within this timeframe, the exam will automatically close, and you will fail.
You will have one additional attempt to complete the exam successfully. If you do not pass on your second attempt, you will need to repurchase the exam to take it again.
