Anywhere. Anytime.
Raise The Grade was formed to offer ServSafe® training throughout North Carolina and beyond.
In 2008, Sandra Stoneman started a small food safety training company. With a few classes a month, a culture of food safety was born. Soon after getting started, Sandra’s brother, Josh Cooke, partnered with his sister to grow Raise The Grade into North Carolina’s largest provider of ServSafe® training.
Over the years, Raise The Grade has grown exponentially to include not only a roster of talented staff, but also a partnership with coworking kitchen City Kitch. As Raise The Grade’s impact grows, we continue to add exciting new offerings such as a live, interactive online course (LiveStream,) expanded language offerings, consulting services, and more!
Raise The Grade began as, and will always be, a family business that is striving to make your state, your country, and even your world a safer place to eat.
