VGCC offers ServSafe Recertification course


The one-day ServSafe Recertification course will soon be offered at Vance-Granville Community College’s Main Campus in Vance County.

Participants will meet on Saturday, May 17, 2014, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. in Building 7 on Main Campus. Ashley Whitesides is the instructor for the training.

ServSafe is the nationally recognized food safety training program designed for food service managers and supervisory staff in restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes, child care facilities and other food service establishments. VGCC periodically offers that 13-hour program. This recertification course is for those professionals who have already completed the program but whose certificate has expired.

ServSafe was developed by the Education Foundation of the National Restaurant Association. The state of North Carolina awards two points on quarterly restaurant inspections for completion of ServSafe.

The cost of the course is $74.

Prospective students can now register and pay for this course online (www.vgcc.edu/oex).  Individuals also have the option to register and pay for classes at Main Campus, Building 7, Room 7120, Tuesday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The deadline to register for ServSafe Recertification is May 14.
