In order to achieve Servsafe certification, you need to follow a series of steps.
First, you need to get training in food safety and handling procedures. This is usually done by taking a ServSafe class. You may also find a course through your state Restaurant Association or local health department.
Secondly, you need to take the ServSafe Manager certification test. This is a multiple choice question-based examination. It can be taken in a classroom setting or online.
A good way to prepare for the exam is to study the ServSafe Manager textbook. It has been updated frequently to cover current practices in the industry. It contains a wealth of information about food safety and handling procedures.
It also includes information on approved suppliers, stock rotation, and storage for dry goods and produce. It also provides recommended food prep guidelines, including how to properly thaw frozen foods and prep eggs, egg mixtures, and produce.
Finally, it contains some information on safety hazards and how to avoid them. This includes proper handwashing, use of gloves and burn-proof equipment, and the importance of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE).
Another way to study for the ServSafe Manager exam is to sign up for an online course from a provider like ECPI University. Whether you’re looking to get started in the restaurant industry or are already an experienced professional, this course can help you learn everything you need to know about food safety and management.
The best way to find a ServSafe manager class is to go to the ServSafe website and look for one near you. You can also check your local public library, college or vo-tech library and ask around at work.
In addition to that, a good place to start is a search for a ServSafe Manager practice test on the internet. Some of these are free and some cost a small fee, but they will give you a good idea of how you’re doing.
