Food & Drink
Food and alcohol servers need to take the state certified training once every three years. For preparing and serving food you will need the Food Handlers Permit and for serving alcohol the Utah On-Premise Alcohol Permit (not the Easy/Off-Premise one). The courses are on the web from different sites.
There is also a Food Safety Manager (Kitchen Manager) certificate. It takes about 8 hours. There is a 75 question exam. The certificate is good for five years.
Here are a few options for taking the courses:

You will need to take two web courses, one from the Salt Lake City Diocese and one from Knights of Columbus Supreme. All officers are required by supreme to take both of these courses.
Diocese
- Take the CMG Connect: “Safe Haven-It’s Up to You”
