NOTICE - EFFECTIVE as soon as our payment site is ready, WE will HAVE THE FIRST PRICE INCREASE EVER
THIS IS MOSTLY TO COVER THE COST OF VIRTUAL PROCTORING -
SO YOU WILL NO LONGER NEED TO FIND A PROCTOR.
WHEN YOU ARE READY YOU LOG IN TO GET AN IMMEDIATE VIRTUAL PROCTOR.
NOTE THIS IS NOT YET SET UP AS OF 1-1-2023.
$249 IS THE NEW PRICE FOR CFM AS OF THAT DATE ($256 when paid with a charge card). Until we start remote proctor we set the price back to $219.
NEW PRICE IS STILL WAY LESS THAN THE OTHER TEST OPTION YOU HAVE.
SIGNING UP FOR CERTIFICATION IS A 1-2-3-4-5 SIMPLE PROCESS
#1 - PAY FOR THE TEST - Select the logo for the test you wish to take.
WE will NOT provide a receipt - If you will need a receipt, get that when you pay - there is a link to a "Printable Receipt"
#2 - After payment we send the candidate an email with a link to the training,
the Proctor and Integrity Forms and the Test Access Code. Candidate sends the link to the proctor.
If the proctor has proctored for IFSEA/GFI before, no need to register again.
#3 - Candidate completes the Integrity (I won't cheat) Form.
#4 - Study the slide show training via PowerPoint or Zoom Recordings
#5 - Test. Immediate results and Certificate (we will NOT send one by email, use the link when you pass). Receive a certificate by email and hard copy a week or so later and lapel pin (if ordered) by mail.

WHY WE DON'T HAVE AN EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT?
There are two sides to every resume - Certifications & Education on one side (we do that)
and Experience (your resume) on the other side. Employers might be looking for an educated person who they will train. Or an experienced person they don't need to train as much. We let the employer decide!
We are partnered with the Foodservice Institute and
the Global Foodservice Institute to offer you four certifications that will help you stand out.
Training is included in the price, whether you use it or not the price is the same.
Note that a 3% service fee is added for charges. Payment by check or EFT (direct deposit) saves that fee.
Bulk Purchases - You can purchase up to 10 tests at a time, for your team.
