SERVSAFE Food Protection Manager
Certification Course (a 14-hour course)
This seminar teaches participants how to implement cost effective and pro-active food safety practices in any operation. In this course, participants are trained and tested for certification through the ServSafe Manager book.
Participants will learn about:
• potentially hazardous foods and safe food handling practices
• Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system of food safety
• setting up standards and procedures for proper receiving, storage, cleaning and sanitizing.
Exam certification of a manager or other employee responsible for operation and employed full time in a particular establishment may qualify the food service establishment for 2 points on the inspection grade.
Foodservice managers who participate in this 14-hour course will receive in-depth training in all areas of food safety. The course will cover the latest information in food safety, including personal hygiene; how to use food thermometers and keep temperature logs; how to safely prepare, store, cook, hold, cool, reheat and serve food; and methods of cleaning and sanitizing.
Foodservice establishments that participate in this course will receive numerous benefits. Good food safety practices provide a proactive defense against the costs (e.g., legal fees, insurance, lost wages, medical claims) of a food-borne illness outbreak. Foodservice operations can increase the quality of their food and improve profitability by reducing food waste and safely storing and transporting food.
Today, the public is very concerned about food safety issues. Eating out has become popular, with almost 50 percent of the food dollars being spent away from home.
