The ServSafe® Food Safety Manager Course, conducted by Penn State Extension, is being held at the Extension’s Lehigh County office, 4184 Dorney Park Road, Allentown, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 13 and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 20 with the exam beginning at 11 a.m. on the second day.

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 percent or higher, participants will receive a ServSafe® Food Protection Manager certificate, 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.

Penn State requires all individuals (vaccinated and unvaccinated) to always wear masks inside Penn State buildings.

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