The Manager Certification is intended for professionals who are responsible for supervising food safety protocols. The course encompasses HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) principles, pest management, and employee training. Additionally, managers must successfully complete a proctored examination to obtain their certification. This certification is valid for a period of five years.
Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) | FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
HACCP is a comprehensive management system that addresses food safety through the analysis and control of biological, chemical, and physical hazards. These hazards are monitored from the initial stages of raw material production, procurement, and handling, through the processes of manufacturing, distribution, and consumption of the finished product.

This certification is for employees who handle food but do not have supervisory duties. The course covers personal hygiene, cross-contamination, and safe food handling practices.
After completing the course and passing the exam, Food Handlers receive a ServSafe Food Handler Certificate. It is valid for three years.

EX:  
 
Client: My plant has yellow spots on the leaves, there are no bugs in the pot.
     Garden Gnome: What are you using for food? How much water do you provide? Is the plant under a plant light                                       or receiving natural sunlight through the window? 
       Garden Gnome: Can you send me pictures from a few different angles and sides?
Client: I use a plant light positioned about 6 inches above the plant. I water it every 2 days. I have not added any      
           plant food, as I believed the soil would nourish the plant for 6 months.
  Client: Did you get all 7 pictures? If they don't come through in a few minutes please let me know.

You can ask unlimited questions for free. Minutes are used when the Garden Gnome responds. So far, only 2 minutes have been used with one response to this question. Additional sentences or links on different lines do not count if they complete an answer or thought. A reply to a question from days ago counts as 2 minutes, even if it’s only one line or link. We recommend marking each question thread with a different emphasis for easier reference. If you need help using that feature on your phone, let us know, and we will teach you how.
