SERVSAFE 
Trusted Industry Training to ​Nurture & Grow Connecticut's Restaurant Workforce
The ServSafe® program is developed by the National Restaurant Association with the help of foodservice industry experts who face the same risks you do every day. Your concerns are our concerns. 

All restaurants in Connecticut are required to have a certified food protection manager on staff. The ServSafe Manager course will certify you as a Certified Food Protection Manager, formerly known as the QFO. The CRA offers two different options for certification: In-person classes or Online Classes with Take Exam at Home. Both options meet the state requirement for certification.

The ServSafe Manager in-person training is conducted throughout Connecticut in a one day,  8-hour session in a professional, conference atmosphere. Our instructors have an excellent record of success, with close to 90% of learners passing the ServSafe Manager exam on their first attempt. Our instructors will prepare you to get certified! 
Looking for a copy of your ServSafe Certificate?   Please Note:  Your ServSafe Certificate can be downloaded & printed at www.servsafe.com.  You will need to login using the email you provided on your answer sheet during your exam session.
If you are not able to access your certificate, please contact the ServSafe Service Center at 800-765-2122 ext. 6703.
