Good questions.
Clear answers.
Is enrollment open?
Not yet. Utah Food Handler Academy is preparing to offer online training. Qualifying enrollment, exams, and certificates remain unavailable until approval.
How long does the course take?
The course includes at least 75 minutes of active instruction across four sections. Knowledge checks and the final exam take additional time. You can pause and return; unattended time does not count.
Why is my total $29.95 if the course is $14.95?
The Utah Food Handler Academy training fee is $14.95. An additional $15.00 Utah Health Department Permit Fee is collected with your enrollment, bringing your total payment to $29.95.
Can I learn on my phone?
Yes. The lessons are designed for phones, tablets, and computers. Follow the exam security instructions before beginning your final exam.
What score do I need to pass?
Each section check requires at least 3 correct answers out of 4. The final examination requires at least 30 correct out of 40 (75%).
What happens if I fail the final exam?
After three failed final exams, you must repeat all required instruction, including 75 active minutes and all section checks, before attempting another final exam.
Is my certificate the same as a Utah permit?
No. After successful completion of an approved course and exam, the provider issues a completion certificate, initially valid for 30 days. The local health department issues the separate food handler permit.
Do I have to finish all at once?
No. Your completed lessons and active instructional time are saved to your account. Return to your dashboard to continue.
