"New Virtual Classroom Course."

The NYC Health code requires that all applicants for a Mobile Food Vendor license be certified in food protection. The Food Protection Course for Mobile Vendors trains individuals in food protection practices to ensure the safety of the food served in New York City's mobile food carts and trucks. Registration for this course is limited to individuals who are applying for a Mobile Food Vendor license. When you register for this course you must also apply for a license.

At this time, the course is available only in a virtual classroom setting. The course and exam will be offered via the WebEx application. When you pass the exam, you will be issued a Mobile Food Vending License. You can apply for the license and register for the course in person at the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP). Note all visits are by appointment only.

Completion of this course and passing of the final exam satisfies that requirement.

The cost of the course is $53.00.

Frequency and Duration: This is an eight-hour course conducted over two days, four hours each day.

Currently, the course and exam are available in English only.
