Launch the media gallery 1 playerStudents in Ronita Jacobsen’s Food, Nutrition, and Wellness class this year had the opportunity to participate in the National Restaurant Association ServSafe Food Handler course. As a certified ServSafe Instructor and Proctor, Jacobsen was able to instruct and assess students for this industry certification.
The ServSafe Food Handler course covered five sections, which included Basic Food Safety, Personal Hygiene, Cross-contamination and Allergens, Time and Temperature, and Cleaning and Sanitation. Throughout the course students gained much knowledge regarding food safety, worked through real case scenarios, and put into practice food safety guidelines.
“In order to receive certification students needed to receive a 70% or high on the final exam. I was impressed with how serious students were throughout the course. This was evident as all students scored between a 93% and 97%,” stated Jacobsen. Students receiving the ServSafe Food Handler Certificate are Tyan Boyer, Becca Wills, Shayla Christiansen, Jade Smith, Melissa Pellatz, and Kelcee Albin.
