The FDA Food Code requires that the person in charge of a foodservice operation become a Certified Food Protection Manager. The person in charge must be onsite at all times during operating hours if the regulatory authority has determined that the operation serves and prepares TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) food. A Certified Food Protection Manager must show that he or she has the required knowledge by taking a course and passing a test (70% or better) from an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) accredited program, such as the ServSafe Manager Course, and passing the ServSafe Food Protection Manager Certification Examination.
The certification is valid for five years, and recertification is required. There will be mini breaks provided and a 30-minute lunch break. Bring a valid Photo ID, notebook to take notes (recommended), and no. 2 pencils. All classes are from 8 am until 5 pm. Arrive promptly by 8:00 am. Students will take the exam on the same day as the class.

I am current customer of KH Food Safety Consulting. If you are starting a business and need good service this company is for you. Karen offers a professional service and reasonable price.
"I opened a few restaurants in different states and one of my biggest concerns has been the Health Department" requirements in obtaining a license. I am currently working on a new project and having Karen on my side is like having a "winning lottery number". Karen has a full knowledge of rules and requirements, she also knows all the contacts for all departments involved in the process to open a restaurant. I highly recommend Karen Hobbs, she is great!!!"
KH Food Safety Consulting offers professional, efficient services. Karen was able to assist us in meeting and exceeding our initial goals. We are successful, today, because of her expertise. KH Food Safety Consulting is a great resource. I recommend them to everyone and I will consult with them on future projects.
KH Food Safety helped us tremendously, made sure we were on the right track. Karen was very easy and pleased to work with. She is very organized, has lots of resources and her streamline processes were very efficient and thorough. We learned a lot from her. She pushes us to not give up, we overcame any obstacles together to find a good solution, in order to get all the permits and licenses needed for our food truck business. She guided us to pass the health inspection with ease, she inspected the truck before the inspector came to make sure everything up to code. Her knowledge about food safety is outstanding, no doubt. Took us faster than we expected to accomplish our goal.
Thank you so much Karen for all your time and efforts, we really appreciate it. We will definitely come to you again in the future to expand our business.
KH Food Safety has been a huge help with getting my business off of the ground. I was so intimidated and nervous to even begin the process, but with Karen's help, I was able to get all the certificates and licenses I needed to run my business and operation smoothly. I was always assured that I was going in the right direction and that Karen would be by my side throughout the whole process. Without KH Food Safety, I would have been lost in what steps I needed to take, but with their help, I was able to get closer to my goal each day and made the process a lot less intimidating. Thank you so much for everything and for making my dream a reality.
I would highly recommend to use her service as a consultant to start your business. Karen is very helpful, compassionate, resourceful, always available and dependable to help solve issues to make your business run smoothly. She‘s been a great guidance to put me on the right track for my future business. She really helps me a lot!! I am forever grateful to be able to work with her. Karen is AWESOME ❤️❤️
Karen is a wonderful person. She is compassionate and cares about her clients. She is very informative.
She is in this business to help others.
She guided us and kept checking on us to make sure that we were on track. We finally got our food and fire permit in a very short time.
I would recommend her to anyone.
Thanks, Karen!
My experience taking the Food Safety Manager certification class with KH was truly amazing. Karen made absolutely sure that everyone in the class was as prepared as possible to succeed in the course. Her teaching was easy to follow, comprehensive, and thoroughly engaging. I would highly recommend that anyone seeking this certification go through her program. 10/10
Thanks again Karen!
Hiring Karen and KH Food Safety Consulting was one of the best decisions we made when starting the project for Salt. Her knowledge, connections, and professionalism were extremely helpful throughout the entire project. Thank you very much Karen, you were nothing but an asset. It was a pleasure to work with you.
I have taken the ServSafe food safety manager course and exam three times but this was my first with Karen. She was great! Very upbeat, kind, and knowledgeable. From the moment you sign up for the course, she will be preparing you for success with advice and study materials. Her teaching was easy to understand and she welcomed questions. I hope that when my certification expires in another five years, she is still teaching and proctoring because I would love to use her again.
I want to thank Karen Hobbs of KH Food Safety Services for guiding us through the necessary channels involving the city, plumbing, electrical, sanitation, health department, and fire department. She is a very nice person to work with and made the process very easy to navigate.
Thanks so much for being a part of our journey. We can see how you go above and beyond to help us be successful. We love your integrity and transparency! You’re much appreciated ?
