Certified Food Manager is one of only two certifications that are accepted by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid) for the food service manager of a nursing home or long-term-care facility. Major demerits and fines can result in the manager losing their job. Companies are desperate to find people who are already certified. CFM is faster, less expensive and less difficult than the other alternative. We suggest getting CFM so you can get and keep the job, and work on the other certification - like we suggest getting an AA on your way to a BA.
The Certified Food Manager Course and Certification Exam provides a foundation for food service operations needed in restaurant, deli, café, healthcare, secondary and post-secondary schools and military food service settings.
There are 5 sections to the training, in the suggested order for study: *Introduction to the Training and Access to the Test *Culinary and Customer Service *Food Safety and HACCP *Food Service and Financial Management and Math *Nutrition, Kitchen Safety and Nursing Home/LTC Resident Safety
