Penn State Extension is offering the ServSafe Food Safety Manager Course at many locations across the state. “These in-person trainings, taught by our certified ServSafe instructors, will help participants learn how to prevent contamination of food by properly receiving, storing, preparing, cooking, cooling and serving the food, as well as proper methods of sanitizing food service facilities,” said Andy Hirneisen, Food Safety Educator. After completing the course and passing the multiple-choice exam with a 75 percent or higher score, participants will receive a ServSafe Food Protection Manager certificate. This certification is good for five years.
Penn State Extension will hold a ServSafe Food Safety Manager Course at the Penn State Extension office at the Berks County Ag Center on Wednesday, Sept. 8 and 15, 2021. This is a two-day class with the exam on the second day. The office address is 1238 County Welfare Road, Leesport, PA (next to Berks Heim).
Why choose to take ServSafe through Penn State Extension? “Penn State Extension Educators all hold advanced degrees and have received extensive training in food safety,” Hirneisen said. “By taking a course through Penn State Extension, you have access to our wide system of community educators and science-based educational resources.”
