The Division of Continuing Education at Beaufort County Community College will offer both a complete class and a separate test review on ServSafe food safety and consumer health this winter.

The class will meet 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, beginning Jan. 12 and ending Jan. 21, in room 826 of Building 8 on the BCCC campus. The registration fee is $70. A test and review session for those interested in updating their credential will be offered at 6-9 p.m., Feb. 16 in room 826 of Building 8 on the BCCC campus. The registration fee is $20. A textbook and exam materials — available from the BCCC Bookstore and the National Restaurant Association — are required for either the complete class or test review session and are available for an estimated $67.50.

Food safety and consumer health are among the most pressing concerns for the food service industry. The course is offered through ServSafe, the industry’s pre-eminent food-safety training program that is recognized and accepted by more federal, state and local jurisdictions than any other. A ServSafe certification will ensure restaurant owners that two points will be available on their sanitation inspections.
