BCCC to offer ServSafe® food safety courses | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    The Division of Continuing Education at Beaufort County Community College will offer two ServSafe® courses on food safety and consumer health for restaurant workers and managers in all phases of a food service career leading to the ServSafe® examination.

    The class for new or prospective workers or those wanting more preparation time for the exam will be 5:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays Feb. 18 through 27 in Room 829 of Building 8 on the BCCC campus. It is designed to help the new restaurant worker and prospective restaurant workers achieve ServSafe® certification and offers more in-depth classroom study than a one-day review class. The registration fee is $70.

    The one-day class to provide pre-study of the exam will be 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1 on the BCCC campus. This class requires pre-study of the ServSafe® Manager Book, 6th edition, in order to be successful on the ServSafe® exam. The registration fee is $70.

    BCCC will also offer a one-hour review of ServSafe® materials followed by the certification exam 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 29 in Room 829 of Building 8 on the BCCC campus. The registration fee is $15.

    The textbook and exam materials must be purchased in advance by the student from the National Restaurant Association or at the BCCC book store.

    ServSafe® is the food service industry's pre-eminent food-safety training program that is recognized and accepted by more federal, state and local jurisdictions than any other. A ServSafe® certification will ensure restaurant owners that two points will be available on their sanitation inspections.
