CEV Multimedia and American Meat Science Association Partner on New Certification
LUBBOCK, Texas (PRWEB) December 03, 2015 -- As organizations develop and change food safety and sanitation regulations, individuals with deep knowledge and understanding of food safety are needed to implement these new standards and processes. To maintain a high set of safety standards and meet the rising demand for professionals with food safety training, CEV Multimedia has partnered with the American Meat Science Association (AMSA) on a certification that helps high school students prepare for college and a career in the food industry.
The Food Safety & Science Certification provides students with an in-depth knowledge of food industry standards and procedures to ensure food safety for consumers. The certification addresses major concepts such as the principles of HACCP, food sanitation procedures, food handling and storage guidelines and basic food microbiology. To earn the certification, students complete 18 modules and take a 100-question final exam.
