New River Community and Technical College is offering the ServSafe® Food Protection Manager Certification, a nationally recognized program designed to equip food service managers with essential food safety knowledge. The certification course will take place on Friday, December 6, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Mercer County Campus, followed by a two-hour exam.
The ServSafe certification focuses on critical food safety practices, including preventing foodborne illnesses, proper personal hygiene, cross-contamination prevention, temperature control, and facility safety. With West Virginia set to adopt the 2022 FDA Food Code in 2025, regulations will require a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) on-site during all hours of operation, making this certification essential for compliance in the food service industry.
This course ensures food safety and helps prevent contamination and foodborne illnesses.
Certification will soon be required by law in West Virginia, with penalties for non-compliance.
It enhances job opportunities and career growth in the food service industry, meeting the upcoming regulatory needs.
The cost for the course and exam is $200. For more information or to register, contact Gloria Kincaid at 304-793-6101 or gkincaid@newriver.edu.
This is a great opportunity for current food service professionals or those looking to advance their careers in the industry. Don’t miss your chance to ensure compliance with the upcoming FDA Food Code changes and take your food safety knowledge to the next level.
