Why are our classes so special



1. All our instructors are Certified Professionals in Food Safety (CP-FS), and each have 9 or more years experience in teaching this class. This certification is from the National Environmental Health Association and is much more intensive than simply being a ServSafe approved instructor (which we are as well).

2. Our instructors are the authors of “Food Safety for Managers”, a textbook on food safety that is used by instructors and trainers throughout the US, and are engaging speakers keeping a dull subject interesting. Both instructors are frequent guests on national television programs.

3. Our instructors have trained more managers in food safety than anyone in New England.

4. Class includes 6 full hours of lecture (many other classes include 2 hours) The textbook, coffee, lunch and the exam. The ServSafe exam is getting harder and harder. We believe a 90 questions exam deserves more review than 2 hours.

5. All instructors work as food safety inspectors – this experience in the field translates to a better instructor in class.

About the Exam

You can get the exam in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, French Canadian, and large print English. When using a foreign language exam, the questions will appear on the exam in both the foreign language and in English. It is a closed book/notes test. Translators are NOT allowed unless approved in advance by the testing organization. Some people finish in as little as 30 minutes while others may take the full 3 hours to finish. The ANSI Approved/ServSafe exam is sent to the testing companies headquarters for scoring. We do not have control or influence in this scoring (for security purposes) and it takes about 2 weeks to get the results back from the scoring center.
The Textbook

The textbook we use is the 2012 Food Safety for Managers. It comes in English and Spanish, and we can provide alternate books in Korean, and Chinese. If you have an older book or from a different author you may be able to use it as long as you make careful note of the several major changes in the food code. The 2012 Food Safety for Managers is written at a 9th grade reading level and is about 80 pages long. This textbook is a concise study guide to help prepare you for the exam.

    “Hi Lisa,I just wanted to say thanks for your leadership of the most recent sanitation class at the MRA building in December. Your class was *quite* informative, interesting, gross (but I mean that in a good, educational way, lol) and fun. I really responded to the way you taught your class and my test results showed it. Good luck with your future classes and endeavors. Thanks again! You were a great teacher:)

    “I can’t thank you guys enough for the ServSafe class yesterday. Cindy was both entertaining and informative at the same time. I was dreading the day but somehow she made it fly by with interesting (and funny) stories about recent inspections, she had all of us engaged. I will be sending all our employees through this training! Hang on to Cindy!”

    – :

    Cindy came out our place in Western Mass and had the entire staff eating out of her hands ( oh that’s a bad food safety metaphor) The content was tilted towards our operation making the class relevant to all our employees – we had servers come even though they don’t need to be certified.
