Illinois Food Manager Certification,
SNA Certification and Food
Handlers License FAQ’s
Q: Can I obtain my Level 1 SNA Certificate in School Nutrition by
attending ILSNA’s conference?
A: Yes! In order qualify for the SNA Level 1 Certificate, you
must take and pass the Food Service Sanitation Manager
Certification (FSSMC) and Nutrition 101, then apply for
your certificate through SNA (https://schoolnutrition.org/
Certificate/Earn-SNA-Certificate/). Both of these courses
are offered as Pre-Cons this year at ILSNA’s conference. In
addition, Nutrition 101 is offered on-line (www.nfsmi.org) at
no cost and may be taken anytime. FSSMC is hosted privately
through IDPH approved consultants and typically costs $150180 per person. At conference, it’s being offered at a reduced
cost of $75 to the participant as ILSNA picks up the other half.
Q: What are the requirements for me to get my Illinois Manager
Certification?
A: In order to receive the Food Service Sanitation Manager
Certification (FSSMC) from the state of Illinois, the employee
must take an approved 8 hour training course and pass an
accredited exam every 5 years. The Illinois requirement for this
course was shortened from 15 hours to only 8 hours as of July
1st, 2014. No longer is a “refresher course” offered.
Q: What is the Illinois law on certified managers?
A: The Illinois Department of Public Health requires that all food
service establishments that prepare and serve food to have
a certified food service manager on the premises at all times
food is being handled.
Q: Once I receive my Exam score am I then Certified?
A: Once your instructor receives your Serv Safe score (1-2
weeks), they will send the scoring info to the State. You will
receive from your instructor the Serv Safe Certification with
the following information. The State will send each Student
the official notification on passing the Test and the final
paperwork. Once you fill this out and send back to the State
with a $35.00 check- you will receive your official Certificate
from the State in the mail (4-6 weeks)
Q: What’s the difference between FSSMC and a Food Handler
license?
A: IDPH requires that at least one supervisor of any food service
facility hold a Sanitation Manager Certification at all times.
ALL OTHER FOOD SERVICE EMPLOYEES MUST OBTAIN AND
MAINTAIN A FOOD HANDLERS LICENSE. The Food Handlers
license expires every 3 years.
Q: Can anyone take the Food Handler Train the Trainer class?
A: The pre-con will be limited to only those who are employed as
School Nutrition employees in a school district.
Q: Do I need to take the Food Handler class if I have my FSSMC?
A: No. If you hold a current FSSMC you do not need a Food
Handler license. If you would like to train your own employees
so they may obtain their Food Handler license, you must
attend the Food Handler Train-the-Trainer class.

Please note correct amount in payment information area. If members of the group are paying individually (for example, with different credit cards), you
must create separate registrations for each.
