ServSafe has been the industry standard since 1919 in training millions of people how to receive, store, prepare, and serve food safely. Through the Cooperative Extension Service, we offer training and certifications for the ServSafe Food Handler, ServSafe Manager, and ServSafe Instructor & Proctor programs. The Arkansas Department of Health is now requiring each food service facility to have at least one supervisory employee who has Certified Food Manager training.

A ServSafe Certified Food Manager Course will be offered on October 27-28, 2022 at the Polk County Extension Education Building located at 211 DeQueen Street, Mena, AR. The training will take place from 8:30 am-12:00 pm on October 27 and 28, with the review and test on Monday, October 31. The course will cost $140 for New Managers and $60 for re-certifications. The course cost pays for the book and the exam. Participants who pass the exam will receive a ServSafe Food Manager Certification good for five years. All participants must pre-register and pay by October 1, 2022. Class size is limited. Once the Servsafe books are distributed, they are non-refundable.

If you have any questions or would like to register, please contact the Polk County Extension Office at 479-394-6018 or stop by our office at 211 DeQueen Street, Mena, AR 71953.
