College of the Redwoods will be offering a local ServSafe Certification class Tuesday, January 10th 2017.  ServeSafe Certification is valued by restaurants and other locations serving food. This comprehensive one-day workshop assists restaurants and other food handling businesses in complying with AB 1978/Campbell.
