ServSafe Food Safety MANAGER Training & Certification

Oct 11 9:00 am — 5:00 pm

Event Details

Did you know that California state law requires each food service establishment to have at least ONE employee who holds a Food Safety Manager certification? And that certification must be renewed every five years?

Taking this course and successfully passing the SERVSAFE exam will result in participants receiving the Food Manager’s Certificate and Card, recognized by the Health Departments of Solano County and Napa County Health Department, and nationally accredited food safety certification from the National Restaurant Association.

THIS IS AN IN-PERSON WORKSHOP WITH A WRITTEN EXAM AT THE END! The training is in English, but the proctored exam will be available in English or Spanish (exam in Simplified Chinese also available by prior arrangement only!)

The ServSafe training blends the latest FDA Food Code, food safety research and years of food sanitation training experience. Managers learn to implement essential food safety practices and create a culture of food safety. All content and materials are based on actual job tasks identified by food service industry experts.
