Under the Food Service Sanitation Code, the Illinois Department of Public requires all food establishments to be supervised by a certified Food Service Sanitation Manager during hours of operation. Our class will be taught by Extension Nutrition & Wellness Educator, Lisa Peterson and provides the minimum classroom work to prepare for the National Certification Examination. Topics include foodborne illnesses, safe food handling, cooking and storage, employee health and hygiene, facility safety and maintenance, cleaning and sanitization. Certificates need to be renewed every five years.

The two-day course will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 25 & 26, at Macoupin County Extension located at 60 Carlinville Plaza in Carlinville.

Participants have to attend BOTH DAYS to sit for the exam on the second day. You will get an hour lunch on the first day of class, and a half-hour lunch on the second day.

The $100 fee for this course includes the textbook, class materials, and exam. Participants may pay with a credit card online, check or exact change to the Extension office. You can pay the day of, but before is preferred. All you need to bring is an I.D.
