Training Opportunities

 
The restaurant industry has been hit as hard as any other by the challenges presented by the COVID-19 crisis.  In addition to the free ServSafe courses aimed at keeping our workers and the dining public safe, the National Restaurant Association wants to help you position yourself for career opportunities that will become available when our industry is able to open its doors and host guests again. Now through April 30, we are offering both our Restaurant Professional and Restaurant Supervisor learning suites FREE of charge to restaurant industry workers.  These learning suites, created with industry experts, were designed to reinforce your skills and knowledge and will help ensure you’re ready for what’s next in your career. They also cover everything you need to know to sit for the professional certification exam, should you choose to take it.
The available courses include:
ServSuccess Restaurant Professional
ServSucess Restaurant Supervisor
ServSafe Food Handler
ServSafe Takeout & Delivery: COVID-19 Precautions
