The ServSafe® program is developed by the National Restaurant Association with the help of foodservice industry experts who face the same risks you do every day. Your concerns are our concerns.

Our years of experience and inside knowledge of the foodservice industry are at the core of our courses, exams and materials. We will prepare you to handle food sanitation risks. 

Our materials help define food safety best practices because we involve specialists from regulatory agencies, academia, and the foodservice industry to create them. ServSafe materials reflect the latest science, research and FDA Food Code.

Certified ServSafe Instructors and Registered ServSafe Proctors must meet minimum experience and educational requirements. You can be confident that practical, real-world experience guides your training.

The fee covers materials, instructor, exam and certificate presentation.  There is no refund for this class unless we need to cancel for any reason. 

If you have already completed the course/training and are only in need of the proctored exam, please register for our exam only session.

If you only need to take the ServSafe exam because you have already completed the necessary training, you may register to have your test proctored at our center.
