The ServSafe Food Safety Manager Course, conducted by Penn State Extension, will be held on Friday, Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Friday, Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the exam beginning at 11 a.m. on the second day. The course will take place in room 149 at the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.

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. There will also be a focus on 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.

As in-person activities resume, 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.

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