| Here is what people are saying about Proactive Food Safety Training: |
"Cynthia plays an important role in keeping the public safe through her ServSafe classes. She is truly concerned with food safety and how to make the classes easily applicable to the workplace. Running a safe establishment is an essential part of the restaurant and food service industry, which is why those workplaces with an employee certified in ServSafe receives a 2-point bonus on their health inspection. As Cynthia so aptly puts it, food safety is everyone's business."

"Cynthia presented the ServSafe course in a very casual and easy to understand format that the entire class enjoyed. I look forward to her visiting my restaurant when she returns to the area. I definitely would recommend having Cynthia as an instructor for the ServSafe course."

| "This class will broaden your self-awareness on personal hygiene and how bad hygiene can be one of many elements for contamination and transmittal of bacteria to food. You will learn the essentials of receiving food items properly and how to identify the potential of food hazards before they come into your restaurant. You will become a key element in recognizing hazardous conditions in and around your workplace -- PASS IT ON, that's what it's about."

"I wanted to tell everyone how much I enjoyed the Food Safety Refresher class at the American Culinary Conference in Charlotte. You made the class fun and put us at ease, which created a good learning environment."

"Cynthia Scherbaty [PFST owner and trainer] is a great ServSafe instructor who makes the class fun and informative. This class is a must for anyone in the food service industry."

"I don't believe any employee purposely tries to be negligent when it comes to the preparation or serving of food. They simply have not received the appropriate instruction. Cynthia Scherbaty's class on food safety simply opens their eyes to what they will later term "common sense." They will retain their information and they will have fun while they are learning. The cost is minute when you consider the possible alternative -- a lawsuit for food poisoning."

"This course is an easy and effective way to learn the basics of food safety. Cynthia takes what would normally be "hard to read" (boring) material and makes it easy and fun. I would recommend this course to everyone in the food industry."

"The Proactive Food Safety training was one of the most positive experiences that I have had as a family and consumer sciences educator. Most meetings/
classes that I attend offer very little useful information for me to implement into my curriculum. This 2-day class moves quickly, covers all the information, and is in an atmosphere that is conducive to learning. Cynthia is an enthusiastic and empathetic instructor. Her enthusiasm for the tenets she teaches about food safety is evident the minute she takes control of the classroom. The class I attended had a wide variety in age of attendants, years of experience, cultural backgrounds, and of course, males and females. From the very first minute, Cynthia encourages the entire class of our success as we prepare for the ServSafe examination. The level of frustration and anxiety were confronted several times during the class, and the participants were continually reassured that they could do this! What a great way to educate!! Thank you, Cynthia."

"I have been teaching this course for 3 years. Cynthia is an excellent instructor with the unique ability to keep the material interesting. She uses both her past experiences as well as great visual aids to enhance the material. Having attended her course, I walked away with many new and exciting ideas to add to my instruction. I would recommend her highly."
