Certification in Food Safety Management - a comprehensive course in food safety management, designed to lead to certification as a food safety manager by a nationally accredited program approved by the Conference for Food Protection, Certified Professional Food Manager from Prometric is OUR choice, but if YOUR choice is ServSafe or National Registry we can do those as well. 

The bugs are the bugs, the temperatures are the temperatures, and other than better or worse marketing efforts, the Conference for Food Protection (which sets the standards) says they are equal.  Only the PICs in each location are required to do one of these.  For the rest of the people, you might find it less expensive and more questions relevant to your workers, your company might prefer our Simply Safe Foodservice Certified as their standard for some or all employees, and we can do that as well.  Usually 1 person in the building needs a CFP approved program, for everyone else, we like SSFC better, more practical, less tricky, information you NEED to know.

Course Goal - Designed to lead to national certification as a food safety knowledgeable manager or employee by a nationally recognized entity. Students will leave with a greater appreciation of their role in preventing foodborne illness and precisely how to accomplish that.
