Frequently asked questions

Who needs a Food Protection Manager Certificate?

The Ohio Department of Health’s certification in food protection rule requires each risk level III and risk level IV food service operation and retail food establishment to have at least one employee with supervisory and management responsibility to have obtained the Ohio Manager Certification in food protection.

What do I do after completing the course and passing the exam?

For the state of Ohio, you must complete an Ohio Department of Health (ODH)-approved training course and an ANAB-CFP accredited exam. The Responsible Training Ohio Certification in Food Manager course and the exam meet these requirements.

Once you have completed both the course and the exam, fill out this form and send it to foodsafety@odh.ohio.gov along with your certificate of course completion and your certificate of exam completion.

How long does it take to complete?

The course takes about 6 to 8 hours to complete and is entirely online. The exam has a 2 hour time limit.

Do I need to schedule the final exam?

No. Our on-demand remote proctored exam is available 24/7. You just start the exam and within a few minutes a live proctor will come online to get you started.

Can I take the course and exam on a mobile device?

You can take the course on a phone, tablet, or computer. However, you must take the exam on a computer with working camera, mic, and speakers.

You’ll receive your Responsible Training Food Protection Manager  course and exam certificates within 1 to 2 days after passing the final exam.
