Certification testing is scheduled for 6-10 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 17.
Both will be held in Room 209 of the Magnolia Building on the college’s main campus in Goldsboro.
Cost of the class is $108. The textbook, ServeSafe Manager Book 6th Edition, costs $90.66 (including tax) and can be purchased in the college’s bookstore.
The fee for the exam is $50 and a required answer sheet costs $46.08.
