- Brad Peters: Welcome to the recipe for results. This is your podcast extra for certification in the hotel, restaurant, and bar industry, brought to you by HRB Universal. This is the brief on the Gainesville Surf Safe Food Protection Manager exam and course. This is your essential no-nonsense guide to getting ANSI accredited and FDA food code compliant in the Gainesville area on July 22nd, 2026. So, first up, Let's talk about the event itself. It's happening July 22nd, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the HRB Universal Training Center in Gainesville, Florida, with your exact location confirmed via email after registration. Think of this certification kind of like getting a driver's license for a commercial kitchen. It's literally your mandatory proof that you know the rules of the road. Second, let's get into the tickets. You've basically got two choices here. For $179, you get advanced registration, which includes a four-hour morning review course plus the exam. Or grab the exam-only ticket for $129 and just show up at 2 p.m. But hey, does that morning review cover absolutely everything? No way. You absolutely must complete the mandatory self-study on their online portal before you arrive. Finally, let's look at the test logistics. The two-hour exam is fully electronic. You can bring your own computer or tablet, or just use one of the provided Amazon Fire tablets. It's offered in English, Spanish, Chinese, and French Canadian. Though heads up, paper exams require a 20-day notice. Also, definitely download the free HRB Universal app for event updates. You know why go completely digital? Well, it streamlines the whole shebang, letting most folks finish in just 45 to 60 minutes. Whether you need that morning refresher or just the afternoon test, pick your ticket tier, crush your self-study, and get certified to keep your establishment compliant and safe. Lock in your registration today and take the stress right out of food safety compliance.
