Qualified Food Operator (QFO) is a food operator employed in a full-time position who has demonstrated knowledge of safe food handling techniques. The demonstration of knowledge requirement can be met by passing one of the approved exams listed below. Note: A‘qualified food operator’ is also known as a ‘certified food protection manager.’ [Full-time position means 30 hours per week or the number of hours per week the food establishment is open for business, whichever is less. Supervisory position means that position of a person who directsand inspects the performance of food service workers.]  \nThe following offerings are intended for food workers seeking to fulfill the Qualified Food Operator requirement for Class III & IV food service establishments. Currently there are four exams that have been approved by the Department of Public Health to meet the QFO requirement, but these exams are offered by a number of consultants/ organizations. The schedule of exam offerings is not intended to be all-inclusive, as there may be other exam schedules that we have not received. Individuals interested in a QFO exam should inquire as to which exam is used to ensure it is one of the 3 approved exams. It may be helpful to call your local health department as many offer the approved exams and training themselves. If you would like to have information about your exam offering posted, contact the Food Protection Program at 860-509-7297.  \nCONNECTICUT APPROVED EXAMS  \n􀁸 Prometric exam (formerly Thomson Prometric, Experior, National Assessment Institute, Chauncey, & Educational Testing Service) exam is available as bilingual in English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese (Traditional), Vietnamese.
