Study Guide & Practice

Your Food Manager study guide is your pre-class study center — built to give you a solid foundation before you ever join us live. It covers core concepts you’ll see on the ServSafe® exam, plus important food safety topics we may not have time to dive into fully during class. Use it however works best for you: read it straight through, jump into the sections you’re unsure about, or take it one chapter a night leading up to class. By the time you arrive at class, you’ll already understand the big ideas — and we’ll use your class time to sharpen them, apply them, and get you ready for the exam.
