Transcript
- 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 Fernandina Beach Serve Safe Food Protection Manager course and exam. HRB Universal is hosting this essential training on July 30th, 2026, and it's an absolute must-have for local food service pros to stay compliant with FDA regulations. First off, why do we even need this course? Well, it's fully ANSI accredited. And under section 210-12 of the FDA food code, every single food establishment has to have a certified food protection manager on duty at all times. So why is this literally a make or break requirement? Because it isn't just about snagging a piece of paper. You know, it's the actual law to keep your restaurant stores open. Right. So second, how do we actually get this done? The Frontendina Beach event runs from 8:30 AM to 4 p.m. You get a fast-paced four-hour review lecture straight into a two-hour electronic exam. Think of the in-person lecture as your final form check before a heavy lift. The actual heavy lifting, that's the mandatory self-study you absolutely must complete on their portal before you even walk through the door. Finally, let's talk logistics and costs. Tickets are $129 for just the exam or $179 for the whole course bundle. Everything's electronic, so bring your laptop or tablet. Or HRV Universal will loan you an Amazon Fire tablet. Need a paper exam? You've gotta request it at least 20 days in advance, and you can always call or text 855-447-2864 for help. Ultimately, this July 30th session is your streamlined path to locking in that essential certification and keeping your kitchen totally compliant.
