Seven Plainview students in Ronita Jacobsen’s Culinary I class, had the opportunity to participate in the National Restaurant Association ServSafe Food Handler course. “In order to receive certification students needed to receive a 75% or higher on the final exam. This year we again had several students scoring 94% and above.” stated Jacobsen.
Receiving their Food Handler Certification this year are Peighton Arlt, Wyatt Doerr, Brooke Forbes, Shayla Jacobsen, Trevin Petersen, Dylan Ward, and Trindan Ziems.
As a certified ServSafe Instructor and Proctor, Jacobsen was able to instruct and assess students for this industry certification. The ServSafe Food Handler course covered five sections, which included Basic Food Safety, Personal Hygiene, Cross-contamination and Allergens, Time and Temperature, and Cleaning and Sanitation. Throughout the course students gained much knowledge regarding food safety, worked through real case scenarios, and put into practice food safety guidelines.
Nationally recognized chain restaurants use the ServSafe Food Handler Program to provide all their employees consistent food safety training. Recognizing the importance of protecting their patrons, employees, and business, many operators choose to use ServSafe to train their employees to recognize the risks of food borne illness with knowledge and training.
The ServSafe Food Handler Program is developed by the National Restaurant Association, the only food safety provider that invests its proceeds back into the industry. Nationally recognized as the premier training for the restaurant and hospitality industry, the National Restaurant Association's ServSafe Program is the trusted source for food safety training
