This course covers 5 key areas including basic food safety, personal hygiene, cross contamination and allergens, time and temperature, and cleaning and sanitation. Each of the 5 areas should take about 10 minutes to complete. Cost of the course is $15. https://www.servsafe.com/access/SS/Catalog/ProductDetail/SSECT6.
