Collapse ▲Attention all food industry professionals! An exciting opportunity to enhance your food-safety knowledge is just around the corner. North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center, is thrilled to offer the Safe Plates for Food Manager’s Certification Training this October. This training is a golden chance for anyone involved in food handling, whether you’re in a restaurant, a healthcare facility, or a school. Don’t miss out, this is the last class of the year!
So, what’s on the agenda? The Safe Plates classes are scheduled for Monday, October 21, and Tuesday, October 22, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day. The certification exam will be held on Friday, October 25, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Classes will take place at the O. P. Owens Agriculture Center, located at 455 Caton Road in Lumberton. This program is comprehensive and vital for anyone responsible for managing food safety in their establishment.
What makes Safe Plates a standout choice? For starters, it’s accredited by the CFP-ANSI and endorsed by the National Registry of Food Safety Professionals. This ensures that your certification will be valid across the entire United States for five years, aligning with the FDA Model Food Code requirements for certified food protection managers.
You might wonder why having a certified Person in Charge (PIC) is so crucial. A PIC is essential for maintaining rigorous food safety standards. In fact, if your restaurant doesn’t have a valid food manager certification, you could face a two-point deduction on your inspection score. Given that approximately 1 in 6 people in the United States falls ill from foodborne illnesses each year—translating to around 48 million reported cases annually—ensuring that your establishment adheres to top-notch food safety practices is more critical than ever. That’s right, the numbers are staggering; for every reported case, there are an estimated 30 unreported ones, leading to an eye-opening estimated total of 1.44 billion cases of foodborne illness.
What can participants expect from the Safe Plates training? Engaging, interactive sessions that go beyond traditional lectures. The program incorporates case studies, storytelling, and hands-on activities to make learning both effective and enjoyable. The course fee is $135, payable by check or money order to N.C. Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center. This fee covers all necessary materials, including the Safe Plates Manager textbook, exam answer sheet, handouts, and even some light refreshments.
Early registration is encouraged to allow ample time for ordering books and preparing for the course. This ensures that you’ll be well-prepared and can fully engage with the material, maximizing your learning experience.
The deadline to register by is October 7. To secure your spot, visit N.C. Cooperative Extension, Robeson County Center, to complete your registration form and make your payment. Please note that refunds are not available, so make sure you’re ready to commit!
