Know Before You Train

What is a Riverside County Food Manager Certification?

A Riverside County Food Manager Certification verifies that a food service manager has completed the AAA Food Handler ANAB-accredited Food Manager Online Course and passed the Food Manager Exam. It designates the individual as a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) recognized by Riverside County.

Who Must Hold a Riverside County Food Manager Certification?

Every food facility must have at least one CFPM on record. This includes managers, owners, or supervisors of restaurants, catering services, school cafeterias, or food trucks handling unpackaged or potentially hazardous food.

Pass the ANAB-accredited Food Manager Exam.

After passing, you can instantly print proof of your certification. The course is flexible—you can start, pause, and resume anytime.

Is Completing the Online Course Required Before Taking the Exam?

No. California law only requires passing the ANAB-accredited Food Manager Exam to earn your CFPM certification.

However, the AAA Food Handler online course is highly recommended because it prepares managers to pass the exam on the first attempt, covering all exam topics with review sections and practice questions.

A CFPM must:

Apply and enforce California food safety regulations.
Ensure all employees have current food handler certificates.
Maintain and monitor food safety procedures and policies.
Confirm all suppliers and deliveries meet safety standards.

Why is ANAB- Accredited Certification Required in Riverside County?

ANAB-accredited certification ensures CFPMs meet national food safety standards, qualifying them to prevent foodborne illnesses and maintain compliance with CDC and FDA guidelines.

Practical & Clear

February 11, 2026

I just finished the Food Manager course and found it incredibly straightforward. The section on FAT TOM and the BIG 9 allergens was broken down in a way that actually makes sense for a busy kitchen environment. It focuses on real world risks, like why can’t you just ‘cook out’ toxins. Great for anyone needing their certification without the fluff.

good servsafe alternative

After having completed the servsafe food manager training in person years ago and needing another course for licensing in the state of MN, I choose AAA and the course took less than half the time as being in person. This covers the same stuff as servsafe although in slightly less depth. This is totally fine if you’re in the industry and looking to get this taken care of quickly because you already know all this material. There is quite literally nothing new here aside from the shininess and expiration date of your updated certification.

This was an informative training. It was nice to brush up on what topics I had forgotten about.

Informative Course

Although signing in was difficult But, once I signed in it was fairly easy to follow along. Although the website is kind of corky it would not recognize my password unless I put it is 4x’s. I do suggest you purchase the Diamond course. I like having the practice test with sample questions and unlimited access. I trust I will pass the test.

Course is complete knowledge full

Was super helpful and very informational. Loved that we are able to pause and re-watch videos. I also really admire the fact that there is a practice exam that can be taken many times until the individual feels they are ready.

Great study course

February 10, 2026

The course is wonderful and it has the greatest feature of all-the ability to speed up the lessons so you can watch it at 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2x the normal speed.

The course is informative but didn’t get bogged down by unnecessary information.

There is something that I found incorrect, however.

Review section 2 had a question about parasites. You don’t cover parasites in the course until after that review.

Helped me to learn for the test!
