One day ServSafe training at Dalton State

The Center for Continuing Education at Dalton State College will host single day ServSafe training for busy food service workers who don’t want to be away long from their places of business. The training is offered on Tuesday, July 28, and satisfies the state of Georgia requirements to become a certified food safety manager.

“We know how difficult it is for busy restaurant and cafeteria managers to get away from their work,” said Dalton State CE director Pam Partain. “We designed our course to be completed in a single day with the certification test and all.”

Georgia obligates all food service establishments to employ at least one certified food safety manager at each of their locations, said Partain. “A poor score on the restaurant report card can be devastating to a food service business. ServSafe classes educate restaurant managers on all aspects of food safety.”

“Our ServSafe class’ one-day format is ideally suited to the busy lives of restaurateurs and food service professionals,” said Partain. “Those who attend will be able to learn the required material and take care of their certification exam all in the same day.”

The training is from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The course fee is $165 and includes lunch, refreshments, ServSafe Essentials workbook and certification exam.

Among the topics covered are food safety, food hazards and the microworld, personal hygiene, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point System (HACCP), purchasing/receiving safe foods, storing foods safely, maintaining food safety through preparation and service, cleaning and sanitizing facilities and equipment, integrated pest management and regulatory agencies and inspection.
