ServSafe Certification

Content includes food safety and proper food handling techniques. This course utilizes the ServSafe materials prepared by the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation to prepare students for a national examination.

Note: Course is available only on a pass/no credit basis. ‘Pass’ is earned upon the successful completion of the ServSafe exam (earning a score of 70 or higher) during the semester in which a student is enrolled in the course. After studying the required materials, there will be two options to take the exam.
1. Online Proctor - Access to high-speed internet is required for students who choose to take the course via ServSafe online proctoring.
2. In person: An in-person option at Lehman will also be offered for students who choose to take it in a proctored computer classroom.

If a passing grade (70 or higher) is not earned, students can retake the examination up to two times within 30 days. If students don’t pass the exam on the second attempt, they must wait 60 days from the most recent attempt before taking the exam again. No more than four attempts are allowed within a 12-month period. Students will need to purchase a new Exam Answer Sheet to retake a print exam or purchase a new Exam Access Code to re-take an online exam. More information is available online at the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation website.
