Know Before You Train
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.

Yes. Both the course and exam are fully online and accessible 24/7. You can complete them at your own pace from anywhere with internet access.
The certification is valid for five years. To renew, you must retake the ANAB-accredited exam before the expiration date.

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

This Food Handler Card course was very clear and straight to the point. The lessons cover everything you need to know about food safety, handwashing, temperature control, and preventing contamination. The videos and a little practice test prepared me for the test, and I passed without any trouble. I highly recommend this course for anyone who needs their food handler card. quick, informative, and user-friendly.

I like it it’s an easy and most detailed information
A food manager plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of a food establishment. To stay aware of what is happening, they must be actively engaged, observant, and organized. One of the most effective strategies is simply being present. Walking the floor, observing food preparation, and monitoring customer service gives the manager a firsthand view of daily operations. This visibility helps identify problems early, such as safety violations, poor hygiene, or inefficiencies in the kitchen.
