Is food safety manager certification the same as ServSafe?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

That can vary from state to state.
I have never heard of a food safety manager but I have heard of a food SERVICE manager and that is a 2 year college course that can be done on line.
Call the health department in YOUR state and ask.

Servesafe is a company with a number of different types of training. Lots of companies provide hourly food handler training, but call your health department to be sure the place you want to take it has been approved by that health jurisdiction/ if you need certification for management, its the same thing. the smartest thing to do is let us know what state and city/county you are in, or just directly call your HD. I got mine from Statefoodsafety.com and its a company like servesafe. All companies have to be approved through a local health department though. So it really depends on your area

The FSMC is required ONLY when a County / State Health Department approves of its use. THE FSMC Courses are 2-3 Full days are are taught by certified Food Safety instructors. You should verify with the health department you are dealing with looks at them as equals
