UMass Extension Food Safety and Sanitation Certification Program for Food Service Personnel
We provide training to food service employees on how to handle food safely. Safe food handling of food by food workers is the most important step towards preventing foodborne illness outbreaks occurring at food service establishments.
The UMass Extension Food Safety and Sanitation Certification Program is designed for school food service personnel, congregate mealsite staff, and other food workers. We offer nationally accredited certifications such as ServSafe®. ServSafe® is a comprehensive food safety and sanitation training program, developed by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF), for food service personnel. It is a nationally accredited certification and is recognized by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH). At the end of the 2-day training, we administer a certification exam. A passing grade leads to ServSafe® certification (which is valid for 5 years from the exam date) and compliance with the Massachusetts Food Code (105 CMR 590.00).
ServSafe® Food Protection Manager Certification Course fee:
$195.00 (includes ServSafe® Coursebook 4th Edition and exam answer sheet, ServSafe® exam, thermometers, and handouts).
