The Clermont County General Health District offers the ServSafe Certification Course, an approved course of study in food protection periodically throught the year. This course, developed by the National Restaurant Association (NRA) and approved by the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) as an official certification course, is a 16 hour course with an 80 question exam administered immediately following the course work. After successfully completing the course, the participant will become certified in food protection by the NRA and the ODH. This certification demonstrates advanced knowledge in safe food preparation practices, and fulfills the new requirements as outlined in Chapter 3701-21-25 of the Ohio Administrative Code.
Serving food to many customers on a daily basis is a daunting task, and the potential for errors in purchasing, receiving, storing, preparing, holding, and serving at any food facility exists. Food handlers should not only base their concern for food safety on a foundation of goodwill and good intentions, but also on a sound understanding of sanitary policies and procedures.
A food safety certification course is a good opportunity for you and your staff to learn more about protecting those you serve from food borne illness. Attendees will learn up-to-date information on how to prevent food borne illness, along with many other current food safety topics.
The course is offered in two 9 hour sessions. All sessions must be attended and a passing score of 75% achieved on the exam to be eligible for certification.
