These in-person trainings, taught by 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.

After completing the course and passing the multiple-choice exam with a score of 75% or higher, participants will receive a ServSafe Food Protection Manager certificate. This certification is good for five years.

Penn State Extension will follow applicable state and local restrictions and Penn State COVID-19 guidelines in effect at the time of an event regarding masking, social distancing, and facility capacity limits. Penn State will continue to require individuals to wear masks inside university buildings at all times.

The course fee covers the cost of the most recent edition of the ServSafe Manager book, the exam, the answer sheet, and learning materials.
