Food Handler Training Requirements
Food handlers are considered people who work with, or may work with open or
unpackaged
food. All
Williamson County cities require that individuals working with food, involved in
the preparation of food, or serving food to the general public receive basic training
in the safety measures and dangers involved with preparing and handling food.
It
is very important to realize that this training is a requirement by ordinance
and citations can be given to food handlers and businesses that do not get
their cards. A card issued by WCCHD is only
valid only in Williamson County. Satisfactory completion of the one-hour
training is required every 1-2 years. For more information please call (512) 248-7617.
Train The Trainer and Spanish Classes
To make it easier to attend a class and acquire a food handler card, we have
developed a Train The Trainer and Spanish language class. Food managers that
have already been trained by WCCHD can take a class that allows them to train
their own employees. Managers that attend the class receive a four year food
handler card and will be given instructions on how to train their employees. See
below for dates and times of Spanish and Train The Trainer classes.
Training Class Times, Locations, and Fees
All first time employees must obtain the one year card. 1st Time - One year card = $10.00
Renewals Only - Two year card = $15.00

- All classes must be Pre-registered 24 hours in advance with exception of

- WE DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS, only cash, check or money order. If our
office does not have change on hand, you will not be able to register until
you can provide correct change.
- An Employee may reschedule once by notifying the appropriate office,
prior to the end of the scheduled class. Any additional changes will require
