Classes for food workers needing a Food Worker Card will be offered on Fridays in Bellevue at Highland Community Center.
The classes are at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Participants are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes early to complete registration materials.
The Food Worker Card is a permit to work with food being served to the public. Everyone who works in the food industry by preparing, cooking and/or serving food to the public must have a Food Worker Card.
Classes consist of training and tests. Classes are held throughout the year except on federal holidays and King County furlough days. All sessions offer materials in English, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Russian and Vietnamese.
To take the training and test for the Food Worker Card, applicants must:
· Be able to read the book and test, and to write out the registration form. If help is needed, the test-taker may bring a friend to assist.
· Photo ID is required.
· Bring $10 cash to pay for the Food Worker’s Card.
· Arrive on time. Applicants will not be allowed in after the class has started.
The center is located at 14224 Bel Red Road N.E.
