    We offer tiered pricing starting at $155.00 per learner for classes with 10 to 30 participants. For smaller classes (5 to 9 learners), the cost is $175 per person. Please note, the class fee does not include the ServSafe Manager book, which is optional. If you need books, we can provide them at an additional cost.

  • What happens if a learner does not pass the exam?

    If a learner does not pass the exam, they are allowed to retest. Each retest requires the purchase of a new exam and proctor service, with pricing for retests starting at $100 per person. Learners can attempt the exam up to twice within a 30-day period. If the second attempt is unsuccessful, a 60-day waiting period is required before retaking the exam. A maximum of four attempts is permitted within a 12-month period. 

  • What is the passing score?

    A passing score for the exam is 70% or higher, which requires answering at least 56 out of 80 scored questions correctly. The exam consists of 90 questions in total, including 10 pilot questions used solely for research purposes and not scored.

  • When will we know the exam results?

    Participants who take the online exam will receive their results before leaving the class and will have immediate access to their certificate online. Those taking the paper exam will receive their results within 2 to 4 weeks. In both cases, paper certificates will be mailed once scores are available, and digital certificates will be accessible through our portal.

  • How long is the certificate good for?

    In all 67 Pennsylvania counties, the certification is valid for 5 years. Please note, certificate validity may vary by state and jurisdiction.
