Q. Where can I get a food protection manager certification in my city or state?

A. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) currently has three food protection manager certifications that meet the Conference for Food Protection (CFP) standards. These certifications are listed on the ANSI Web site. Each of these three certification bodies have Web sites that will allow you to locate a test site or provider in your area:

  1. The National Registry of Food Safety Professionals
  2. National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation
  3. Thomson Prometric

Since each state, county, or city jurisdiction decides which, if any, of these certification(s) is required, please check with your local health department or the ServSafe – Know Your State Regulationsto determine which are approved.
