COURSE DETAILS & INFORMATION
Each course is brought to you by Finley Food & Beverage Consulting. The classes are taught by founder and owner of Finley Food & Beverage Consulting - Laura Finley. Laura has over 20 years of experience in the food & beverage industry. In regards to her classes, you cannot find someone better suited to help you and your staff learn about food safety. Her knowledge and willingness to help others succeed really shines through in the way she runs her courses.
Each course begins at 9:00am and goes until 5:30pm. There will be a 45 minute long lunch break. Students are responsible for bringing their own lunch or going to get a lunch during the time provided.
Complimentary coffee, tea, and water will be provided.
Course fees includes the 8-hour course, as well as the proctored exam. Class fees are non-refundable and non-transferrable to other classes although if you are not able to make it you may send someone else in your place for no additional charge.
The exam is administered during the last two hours of the class. It is a 90 question exam. Students are required to receive 70% or higher in order to pass. Once students pass, they will obtain a ServSafe Certified Food Protection Manager certification that is valid for 5 years and meets the health department requirement to have a CFPM on staff. While most students in my class pass, I will discuss in the class what to do should you not pass on the first try. Students typically receive their results 1 - 2 weeks from the date of the class. The exams are graded at the ServSafe Service Center in Illinois, not by the instructor.
The exams are available in a variety of languages. If English is not your first language and you would like to request the exam in another language, please speak with the instructor at the time of registration.
We strongly encourage anyone who has questions, comments, or concerns to contact us directly. Laura can be reached by phone or email. Her cellphone number is (406)600-7919 and our email is FinleyFBconsulting@gmail.com. I will respond to calls or texts. If you call please be sure to leave a voicemail so that we can call you back.
We look forward to having you and your staff at the training!
