About the course

This program is designed to prepare food service managers to pass the ServSafe certification exam. It will provide valuable education regarding the safe handling of food, sanitation, food flow, operational management and Hazard Analysis Control Point, HACCP.

HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical and physical hazards. It addresses raw material production, procurement and handling, as well as manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.
