Contact us for private sessions today!
Sending your entire kitchen leadership team away for classes completely ruins your weekly schedule. That’s exactly why Safe Food Training Minnesota brings our private sessions directly to your facility. We help your staff earn their state-approved CFPM credentials through a curriculum tailored to your specific kitchen.
The Hassle of Juggling Multiple Schedules
Think about trying to pull three shift leads off the floor during a busy patio weekend in Minneapolis. You’ve got prep to finish and heavy deliveries arriving at the back door. You’ve still got a massive lunch rush looming. It’s a logistical nightmare. Plus, tracking a dozen different certification expiration dates for your kitchen staff is an administrative headache.
When you book a private session, everybody gets on the exact same renewal schedule. You don’t have to worry about constantly juggling training days throughout the year. We bring the classroom directly to you. This keeps your team right there in the building, just in case of an absolute emergency.
Training Personalized to Your Specific Business
Learning about food safety in a sterile hotel conference room is fine. Learning about it while standing next to your own walk-in cooler is incredibly effective. We completely personalize our training to fit your exact operation. Managing food safety in a massive school cafeteria is very different from running a high-end steakhouse or a mobile catering company.
When I come out to your property, we talk about your specific daily challenges rather than generic scenarios. We’ll look at how your unique team handles cross-contamination during a heavy Friday night rush. Cross-contamination is the transfer of harmful bacteria from raw meat to ready-to-eat food. We figure out exactly how to stop that using your actual prep tables.
Building a Culture of Food Safety
Having one Certified Food Protection Manager on site is a great start. Having your entire leadership team certified at the exact same time creates a totally different culture. Everyone hears the same message. They learn the same state protocols from a recognized expert. This builds incredibly strong daily habits across your entire staff. When everyone trains together in the same room, no one can claim they didn’t know the proper rules.
Frequently Asked Questions About Private Sessions
Many general managers wonder how hosting a class actually works in a busy restaurant. Here are the most common questions I get about bringing our customized training to your property.
How many employees do we need to book a private group class?
We typically look for groups of five or more to set up a dedicated private session. If you’ve got a smaller crew, we can easily fit them into one of our regularly scheduled public classes around the Twin Cities.
Can you administer the official CFPM exam at our facility?
We absolutely can. We handle all the classroom instruction and then proctor the state-approved exam right in your dining room.
Do we have to shut down the kitchen during the session?
Not at all. We just need a quiet space, like a private dining room or a large banquet space. Your team needs a place where they can focus completely on the material while the kitchen keeps running.
Can we combine new managers with people who just need a renewal?
You certainly can. We routinely teach the full certification course and the four-hour continuing education class concurrently. Your veterans can finish their renewal and head back to the line while the new managers stay for the full exam.
