Know Before You Train
In Westchester County, food managers must comply with New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM) regulations, along with county health department rules. To fulfill this, you’ll need to complete approved food safety coursework. If your employer requires a nationally accredited food manager certification through the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), AAA Food Handler provides an ANAB-accredited Food Protection Manager Certification that can be completed online at your own pace.
Our program prepares you for the Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) exam accredited by the Conference for Food Protection (CFP). Passing this exam confirms you meet nationally recognized standards in food safety oversight.
Under Article 20-C of the NYS Agriculture and Markets Law, certain food establishments must designate at least one person trained in food safety. The requirement is generally 8 hours of coursework from an NYSDAM-approved provider. While passing a nationally accredited exam is not mandatory at the state level, many employers in Westchester County strongly prefer managers to hold an ANAB-CFP Certified Food Protection Manager certification, as it demonstrates advanced competency.
Local exceptions apply for small retail food stores that:
For those operating in Westchester County, checking both state guidelines and county-specific regulations is essential, as county health departments can impose additional requirements beyond NYSDAM’s list.
Employers and county officials may request proof of renewal at set intervals, so keeping documentation up to date is important.

Food Manager Reviews

THIS IS MY 2ND TIME USING THIS COMPANY AND I WILL CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND AND RETURN. SO EASY, INFO IS TO THE POINT AND ONLY WHAT IS NECESSARY.
easy to understand well organize information but would be better if there is more of test or interactive game or characters to help memorization.
Remove the completed module pop up that pops up right on top of the Next Module link. Enable auto play when clicking the Next module button. Sometimes we miss something, and we need to rewind a bit. The only way to go back is to watch the whole module.
It was a well put together course. Very informative and I believe I’ve learned a lot.
I took CDM and CFPP courses years ago while working in a hospital, this was a perfect refresher course.
This course was extremely concise, descriptive, and easy to navigate through. It was far more entertaining than merely reading a training manual because it constantly kept me engaged through interactive segments, including the section reviews. I would recommend this course to those wanting to become food managers at their respective food establishments.
