Nutrition & Foodservice Professionals Training Program Opportunities
CDM, CFPP Credential
Establish a Nutrition & Foodservice Professionals Training Program with the Help of ANFP
ANFP offers qualified institutions the tools for building a successful foodservice manager program. Once approved, upon completion of the program, students are eligible to sit for the CDM, CFPP credentialing exam. The required program length is a minimum of 120 instruction hours, plus a minimum of 150 hours of supervised field experience.
With the new Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations, the CDM, CFPP credential is listed as the primary qualification for the Director of Food & Nutrition Services in the absence of a full-time dietitian. A representative from the Food and Nutrition Services department must be included on the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT). The CDM, CFPP is the only credential listed in addition to the RDN that is qualified to participate, as defined by the Scope of Practice.
Nutrition & Foodservice Professional training programs are established in post-secondary accredited institutions. To ensure your institution is eligible to begin a program, please search for accreditation through one of these two bodies: CHEA or USDE. If the institution is accredited, the process to become approved may be initiated.
