We offer training, instruction and examinations in order to satisfy the state mandated food safety certificati
on requirements for food service workers and managers. You may elect to receive manager certification examinations using Pearson Vue computer based testing for the National Registry of Food Safety Professionals, or Prometric. Choose any of all three Certified Manager Examinations that are approved by the State of Florida. The curriculum used for our basic food safety course is “Food Safety First!”, also a state approved program, and was written and produced by Drexel University.
Who Requires
Certification?
Food service workers in Florida establishments that are licensed by either the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, or the Division of Food Safety.
How Do I Get Certified?
In order to meet the requirements and receive the Food Safety Manager Certification, you must successfully complete a state recognized Food Safety Manager Certification Examination. This is a two-hour examination consisting of 80 objective test questions that cover a range of food safety subjects. “Successful completion” is a score of 75 percent or above.
Our Curriculum…
Safe Food Systems has developed their highly successful Certified Food Manager course curriculum over the past several years. This five-hour course covers all the information needed to prepare students to pass the examination and students are given two hours to complete the exam. We are proud of the fact that 97% of our students pass the exam on their first attempt after attending our course. Certification is valid for five years.
The curriculum for the Food Handler Class, our basic food safety course, was written by Drexel University. The objective of this two-hour video program is to teach the importance of developing proper, safe behaviors when handling, preparing and serving food to the public. Certification is valid for three years.
Successful completion of either of our courses will satisfy the appropriate requirements of the state mandated food safety statutes.

Section 500.12(6) of the Florida Statutes requires the Department to adopt rules for the training and certification of managers of food establishments.
