Licensed Food Establishments in Arlington County, City of Alexandria, and Fairfax County are required by law to have someone who is a Certified Food Protection Manager, also referred to as a PIC (Person in Charge) by local Health Departments, who is in “immediate” control during all operating hours. Certified Food Protection Managers must take and pass an accredited Food Protection Manager Certification Exam. If Health Department Inspectors or other Officials request verification of Food Protection Manager Certification, all PICs must be ready to produce the original certificate documenting their Food Protection Manager Certification along with a valid, government-issued photo ID that verifies their identify.

Those with Northern Virginia Food Manager ID Cards issued by ORS need only present their valid Food Manager ID Card. Printed on a durable plastic and covered by a protective overlay, the Food Manager ID includes a color photo, type of Food Manager Certification Exam passed, where the exam was proctored, and the expiration date.
ORS also administers the LIMITED Food Manager Exam and issues the LIMITED Northern Virginia Food Manager ID for persons working at Licensed Food Establishments which serve only pre-prepared foods such as frankfurters, packaged foods heated microwave ovens, etc. Note: Local Health Departments make the determination if a STANDARD or LIMITED Food Protection Manager Certificate is appropriate for each Licensed Food Establishment.
As a means of providing a small measure of relief to Licensed Food Establishments and people working in restaurants and foodservice operations during the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic Recovery (when most hospitality businesses including our own have struggled mightily), ORS Interactive, Inc., is revising prices and service offerings for Food Manager ID Cards, One-Day (6-Hour) Food Safety Exam Preparation Classes, and Food Protection Manager Certification Exams in our video-proctored, Computer Testing Center (which provides immediate results).
ORS Interactive is placing an even greater on training and remediation—now and in the future. We have changed our policies for “re-taking / auditing” our One-Day (6 Hour) Food Safety Exam Preparation Class to allow those who take the Class and fail the Exam to “re-take / audit” the Class an unlimited number of times without extra cost. We have found this to be successful on a limited basis and are extending this benefit to all our One Day (6-Hour) Food Safety Class participants. We’re also dropping the cost for re-taking the ServSafe Certified Food Protection Manager Exam from $70 to $35 for as many attempts as required to successfully pass the Exam.

The Code of the County of Fairfax, Virginia requires all food establishments operating within the County to be under the immediate control of a Certified Food Manager during all hours of operation. Arlington County, Virginia and the City of Alexandria, Virginia have similar codes in place. The ultimate objective is to improve the health and well-being of the general public and provide additional protection against outbreaks of foodborne illness and other afflictions/health conditions directly related to food safety and sanitation.
ORS Interactive, Inc. administers an approved Certified Food Manager Exam (the ServSafe Food Protection Manager’s Exam) and provides proctored testing services and immediate results for English, Chinese, and Spanish exams taken on a computer.
Results taken with paper and pencil exams (this option is available for all exams but required for Korean, Japanese, and French Canadian) typically arrive within 7 to 10 days after the exam is administered.
The cost for each approved Food Safety Manager Exam is $109 and includes required test proctoring services and the Northern Virginia Certified Food Manager's ID card (after passing the exam). No reservations or appointments are required (no need to worry about missed exam appointments or fees for cancelling or changing exam appointments) as they are with other test providers / administrators.
Walk-in service is provided from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday and Wednesday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. If you are taking an exam, be sure to arrive at least two hours before closing.
