As restaurant professionals, our first obligation to our guests and staff is to assure the safety and wholesomeness of the food we serve. High level food safety certification is required of management in most states, and many states (including here in Florida) mandate that all staff be trained in safe foodhandling procedures. Beyond these regulatory requirements, we must own food safety as the professional, ethical obligation that it is.
As a certified ServSafe® Instructor and Exam Proctor, I am able to assist you with your goal of food safety excellence. There are several options for you to consider:
• SERVSAFE MANAGER CERTIFICATION
Public classroom instruction and exam… I recommend FSA Training LLC throughout Florida. As a contract trainer with this outstanding firm, I would be your instructor in Sarasota or Clearwater. FSA Training also provides private group sessions, inquire with them. If your private session is on Florida's west coast, I would be pleased if you request me as your trainer.
Online instruction and exam… also available from FSA Training LLC. The ServSafe® online exam requires that a certified proctor must be present while you test. I am available to provide that service at $70 ($20 each for additional examinees). We would meet at a public place in Sarasota, or a public location more convenient to you. For travel beyond 25 miles from Sarasota, there is a nominal travel fee. Examinees must provide a laptop computer.
• FLORIDA DBPR APPROVED FOOD HANDLER CERTIFICATION
Private group instruction and self test is available from FSA Training LLC. Online training is also provided for individual hires.
• INDIVIDUAL HANDS-ON TRAINING BASED ON THE FDA RISK-BASED INSPECTION FORM
