What You Walk Away With

A nationally recognized ServSafe Manager certificate valid for 5 years, issued by the National Restaurant Association. Accepted by GDPH inspectors and health departments across Georgia.

Satisfies Georgia food safety law requirements

Who Should Attend

Restaurant managers, kitchen supervisors, dietary directors, care facility staff, and any food service employee required by their employer or the state to hold a food safety manager certification.

Individuals and small groups welcome

What's Included in Your $150

Everything from instruction to certification in a single session. No hidden costs.

Why Certification Matters

The Georgia Department of Public Health requires every food service establishment to have at least one Certified Food Safety Manager on staff. Failing to comply can result in failing inspection scores and potential closure.

⚠️ GDPH inspections scoring below 70 result in a U (Unsatisfactory) grade. A certified manager on staff is one of the fastest ways to protect your score — and your business.

Don't wait for a failed inspection. Get your team certified before the next visit.
