In the competitive field, industry certifications can help you stand out among a crowd of applicants. The National Restaurant Association’s ServSafe® Food Protection Manager Certification is nationally recognized. Earning your certification tells the industry that you know food safety and the critical importance of its role – and enables you to share food safety knowledge with every other employee.
Delaware law requires the Person-in-Charge (PIC) to demonstrate Food Safety knowledge in order to comply with the 2013 Food Code. The ServSafe® Food Protection Manager Certification meets that requirement. There are two training and exam formats: classroom and online.
ServSafe® meets ALL of the requirements mandated by the county and local health departments in the state of Delaware. ServSafe® certification is recognized nationwide, so you can have confidence knowing that even if you move out of Delaware your ServSafe® certificate will be valid in any other state. Some people mistakenly refer to ServSafe® as Safe Serve, but whatever you call it; you will be receiving the highest quality food safety certification program.
We offer the ServSafe® Exam in the following languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese and French Canadian.
ServSafe® Seventh Edition incorporates the most current information in a way that’s relevant to today’s workforce. It covers critical principles including personal hygiene, cross contamination, time and temperature, receiving and storage, food safety management systems and training hourly employees. ServSafe® Seventh Edition includes the latest updates to the FDA Food Code, uncovers emerging science-based trends impacting food safety and was developed by a cross-section of industry experts. Lessons use videos and activities that work together to help students stay engaged, retain information and apply that knowledge when it matters most, back at the operation helping to protect the general public.
