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.
