ServSafe Certifications

The National Restaurant Association's ServSafe Certification is the 'gold standard' for the Food industry for staff training. Restaurants, Private Clubs, Catering, Churches, Camps, or other food businesses may contract with me to teach small classes of National Restaurant Association's ServSafe Manager and/or ServSafe Alcohol Awareness.

For individuals seeking certification ServSafe Alcohol (Maryland version) and prefer to take the course online, you can coordinate with me, before starting the program, to proctor the certification exam. Alcohol Awareness certification and Instruction is regulated by the Maryland Comptroller office who annually license instructors and set strict requirements regarding the alcohol awareness programs,
