The Oklahoma Hotel & Lodging Association offers a one-day training course for obtaining your ServSafe® Managers Certification. Students will be given 90 minutes to complete the exam and need a score of at least 70% to earn a ServSafe® Certificate.


Important Update For OKC ServSafe Classes

Starting in May 2023, OKC ServSafe classes will be located at Valliance Tower, 1601 Northwest Expressway (across from OnCue). Only for the month of May, OKC ServSafe classes will not have the option to re-certify or retest due to a lack of room availability. If you need to re-certify or retest in May please call the ORA office, 405-942-8181, and ask about online testing options. We should be back to offering recertification and retest classes again in June but please check back for updates. To learn more and schedule your ServSafe class, click here. 


Is this course Mandatory or Voluntary?
Some counties or municipalities in Oklahoma, specifically one manager or server per restaurant property be a Certified Food Manager (CFM). ServSafe Foodservice Manager is the leading food safety certification course in the nation.
Currently, this is a requirement in the City of Stillwater, Cleveland County, Oklahoma County, and Tulsa County. Check your local municipality for specific requirements. Certification must be renewed before expiration in required cities and counties. If you have never had a license or your license has expired, the ORA can help!

If you were previously scheduled for a ServSafe class, contact Elizabeth Sanchez or Sarai Maldonado.

Rescheduling
Should you confirm your class date and later need to reschedule please note our reschedule policy. Your first reschedule is complimentary, however, any further rescheduling requires a $20 fee per reschedule request. To reschedule contact Elizabeth Sanchez or Sarai Maldonado.


ORA and our partnership with United Linen & Uniform Services

The ORA and its members, in exclusive partnership with United Linen & Uniform Services, actively support responsible food service. We know you are busy, so we designed our course to take only one day. We have filled it with important information and an exam that earns you industry


-acknowledged national certification.

ServSafe Course and Certification
These one-day certification courses are held from 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m., with lunch provided (lunch is NOT provided for recertification or retests). Upon receipt of your completed registration form and payment, the ORA will send you the new ServSafe Manager textbook. The last hour of the class is dedicated to taking the necessary exam, which includes 90 multiple-choice questions.

Scores and Testing Results
You must make 70% or greater to pass the test. Completed exams will be sent immediately to the National Restaurant Association's Educational Foundation for grading. ServSafe certificates are no longer being mailed out. They will now be available for download 5-7 business days after testing on ServSafe.com. At the time of testing, students will receive instructions on how to access their certificate which requires you first create a profile on ServSafe.com.

Your First Steps to Test and Certify
The first thing you'll need to do is register for a class. As soon as the ORA receives your registration and payment we will send you the textbook. We strongly encourage you to read this book and complete the study questions at the end of each chapter. This is a fast-paced class that will cover food safety principles in a short amount of time. The Practice Tests and Answer Keys to the right of this page are highly recommended because they contain information that will help you prepare for the exam. Also, space is limited in each class and courses fill quickly. We recommend that you register at least two weeks prior to attending to allow time for shipping and study.

Language Options
Although the class is instructed in English, the textbook is available in Spanish, Chinese, and Korean. The test is available in Spanish, Korean, Chinese, French Canadian, Japanese, and large print. Call us at least one month in advance to be sure we have the textbook and test in stock for the language you need.
