- 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 upcoming Fort Lauderdale Serve Safe Food Protection Manager certification. So, HRB Universal is hosting this essential ANSI-accredited in-person training and exam on July 27, 2026, which is an absolute regulatory must-have. To keep your kitchen legally compliant and safe. First, let's talk logistics. You'll be in Fort Lauderdale from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with tickets running between $129 and $179. You're going to get a fast-paced four-hour review lecture in the morning, followed by the exam. But listen, think of that morning lecture as a final sprint, not the whole marathon. Self-study through the HRB Universal Training Portal beforehand is strictly required. Because the live review just won't cover everything. Second, because that morning review is so intense, it's packed with heavy-hitting industry standards. Developed by the National Restaurant Association and based on the latest FDA food code, this program is designed to satisfy the FDA requirement that a person in charge or PIC is on duty at all times, ultimately teaching managers how to create a lasting culture of food safety. Finally, after absorbing all that FDA food code knowledge, here's how the afternoon testing actually goes down. It's a two-hour fully electronic exam offered in English, Spanish, Chinese, and French Canadian, where you can bring your own laptop or use a provided Amazon Fire tablet. But hey, considering today is July 18, 2026, remember how paper exams require a 20-day advance notice? Well, for this specific July 27th session, that window is completely closed, so you'd better be ready to take it digitally. So grab your ticket, log into the portal, and hit the books now so you can ace the certification and keep your establishment running smoothly.
