Online Classes
The State of Utah approves online and onsite trainer-led courses. Please be aware, there are many online outlets claiming to offer Utah Food Handler cards at exorbitant costs. Cards issued from sources not from approved providers from the State will not be accepted.
See the list of Approved Food Handler Training Providers in Utah.
Once you have completed the online course successfully, you will obtain a “Certificate of Completion” from the online vendor. This certificate is used in the place of the actual Food Handler Permit for a period of up to 30 days. During this period, the official permit will be processed and issued by the local health department jurisdiction where the individual resides.
