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 (3-4 days of study vs 18 months for CDM, less expensive ($256 vs $3,000 to $4,000 for CDM) and less difficult than the other alternative because we only teach what you will ACTUALLY USE.  We suggest getting CFM so you can get and keep the job, and work on CDM as a long-term goal, when you have 18 months and $3,000 - it may pay more and absolutely is better if and when you can.  But only 2 of 10 people who apply actually earn CDM.   We suggest getting an AA on your way to a BA on your way to a Master's, same idea.

If you have a foodborne illness outbreak and get sued and your manager is not certified to CMS standards, your loss will likely be greater.

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.
