The Manley Method – Teach-Test-Certify-Next Day-Teach-Test-Certify……. We prepare you for leadership roles in foodservice with 6K students earning over 12K certifications since 2004, from kids to seniors, some with decades in the business, military E-3 to O-6. 10 classes at the White House/Camp David and worldwide locations. 50 Navy earning 450 certifications in Jan-Oct 2024. We can help you too, affordably, quickly, GI Bill, Medicare and ACF approved. https://lnkd.in/eqyhfYe.  Testimonials Say It Best: Navy promotions 10 yrs – 53% promoted to (E-9) 34% to E-7/E-8, stood out from the rest due to our certifications. Same true for ANY civilian/military selection board, why you? Successful Executive Already - Glenn Beatty, MCFBD – Built, owned, operated restaurants/nightclubs, chains, over a 30 year career, but stagnant. Fine dining restaurant GM at a casino – I wanted more but but had no college or certifications employers value. I found FSI offered everything I was looking for. I took several weeks to earn all certifications, while working full-time, enjoyed the classes, took many pages of notes and gained both knowledge & confidence, which was useful in the job interview.  With all my experience, my brain was refreshed and ready for their technical operations questions, and they were impressed with all the certifications. It worked for me and can for you too. Just Do It! COL Curtis Rock Henry, U. S. Army - Ed, your training was superb. I attended in 2009 and again in 2016. The knowledge and certifications are the keystone to my business start-up. The small amount spent from my GI Bill doesn't even come close to the value of your program. Priceless!!! CWO5 Paul Jones, U. S. Navy - Your presentations for each course of study was very educational, concise, and added a great deal to my level of expertise. Earning these certifications makes a difference in the selection process. Navy, then 5-Guys franchisee, now manages the Seal Team 6 galley. CWO3 Domagalski, FSO on the USS Essex in San Diego – Jan-Mar 2023 put 33 CS's from 2 ships through classes earning 297 certifications + another class pending, must be good right? Warrant says, "I attribute this program with 6 promotions, E-5 to CWO3 and more to come. The certifications separated me out from the people who had none or a few, mostly none. So, I’m helping dozens achieve the same thing. Doing for others what was done for me. Sadly, too few leaders do that!  Captain Mary Kolar, U. S. Navy – Hired as Director of Public Operations at an art museum, without f.s. experience, but I would be supporting a restaurant and with these certifications they expected that I will bring in more reception business which is a money maker for them. I let the interviewers know about my Master Certified Food Executive and HACCP certifications, which were likely an additional positive. More next post.

Happy Friday! Here’s some food for thought to put on your plate today. We all know retention is a constant challenge, but did you know that 23% of restaurant employees haven't finished their high school education? This statistic highlights a crucial area where we can make a significant impact. Training isn't just about skills; it's about building a brighter future. Certification programs like ServSuccess are game-changers. They don’t just enhance skillsets and leadership capabilities, but also instill self-confidence and pride in our team members. When employees feel equipped and empowered, they're more likely to stay and grow with the company. When they are invested in they become mentors who repeat the cycle thus creating an incredible company culture. Investing in these training programs means investing in people. It’s about creating a supportive environment where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their educational background. Collaborate with your L&D partners and see how you can enhance your current programs. Let’s build a workforce that’s skilled, confident, and add that confidence to the internal résumé.

Two posts in a year! Talk about New Year, New Me! I get asked at least once a month “Kris, how did you do this in such a competitive, crowded, and mature market?”   When I joined Bureau Veritas Certification North America our footprint in the food certification and training market was quite minimal. In my 4+ years here, my team has helped grow our #audit business over 500% and our training offers an immeasurable amount as we did not run a single course in my first year with Bureau Veritas.    Obviously I cannot take the credit for this as I have had a phenomenal team to help with this unbelievable growth (shout out to Kim Knoll, Amy Dent, Anissa Abdennouri, and Eliza Redd). They would agree with me here that what has helped us become a presence in the market is our focus on #customerservice and remembering the Golden Rule. Many in our industry don’t put themselves in their customers’ shoes and reflect on how they treat people. Many seem to take the stance of being regulators and forget that we are in a customer service business and without customers, we would not be around. How do you feel when you can’t get a hold of the Doctor’s office when you need them, or the furnace company doesn’t show up on time or return your call when your furnace is broken? I’m not revealing any secret sauce that isn’t known here, but wanted to share our focus here at Bureau Veritas.   My weekly tip of the cap for this is Jacqueline Southee, North American Representative with Foundation FSSC. I have seen her work tirelessly to assist clients in their journeys to #GFSI #certification and help out us Certification Bodies when we need assistance. She has returned every email, text, and call in a timely manner. Even when she doesn’t have the answer, she doesn’t give you the “I don’t know, sorry can’t help you.” She has that Henry Ford desk where she has buttons on it to find the answer you need. She defines what we try to strive for here with all our customers, prospective clients, auditors, and team members. Hats off to you, Jacqueline for embodying what we hold close here in the food certification and training division at Bureau Veritas North America…CUSTOMER SERVICE.   #gfsi #fssc22000 #sqf #brcgs #foodcertification #certification #training #wearebureauveritas #shapingaworldoftrust

A little know fact: I was a senior dropout at 22 years old, choosing to pursue my dream of travelling the world with Delta Airlines while working in their air cargo department. 28 years later, I finished that job! It was a dedicated and focused two years of taking online classes in back to back 10 week term sprints. I had studied and received my CSCP certification in parallel with the Purdue Univ. Global course work. . I will say that both the ASCM CSCP learning and the Purdue University Global course work are top notch. Whether new to supply chain or not, in my opinion both programs are solid investments into your future. #supplychain #logistics #betterlatethannever
