Single-Day Course/Exams and Paper Exam Only — Registration, Confirmation, and Scheduling
Registering for a course or exam adds you to the waiting list. Once a minimum of 20 examinees have registered, participants will be asked to confirm their registration by paying all required fees in full.
After confirmation, the exam will be scheduled four (4) weeks from that date. This timeframe allows for paper exams to be ordered directly from ServSafe®, which must be prepaid and typically require three (3) weeks for delivery to the examination proctor.
Online Exam Only - Registration and Scheduling
The online exam is conducted as a one-on-one session with a registered examination proctor. Once your registration is received, a proctor will contact you directly to schedule your exam and collect applicable fees.
Exam Scoring and Certificates
The course materials used in this training are provided by ServSafe®, the nationally recognized leader in food safety education. Upon successfully passing the ServSafe® Food Protection Manager Examination, you will receive a Level 2 Food Protection Manager Certification from ServSafe®. Your scores along with proof of attending the 8 hour course is then submitted to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH), which will issue your official Ohio Manager Certification in Food Protection, as required by state regulations.
