Certified Food Manager Courses
The Chester County Health Department requires most retail food facilities to have at least one employee who has a CCHD Certified Food Manager certificate. Any course that results in a valid "Nationally Accredited Food Manager Protection Certificate" is acceptable as reciprocity to obtain the CCHD certificate. These programs currently include:
- ServSafe
- Prometric
- National Registry of Food Safety Professionals
- 360training.com
- Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) exam
The following agencies have historically worked with the Health Department to provide these courses:
- Penn State Extension - 610-696-3500
- Paster Training - 866-394-1776
- Savvy Food Safety - 855-644-3787
Please be wary of online courses, especially those with a minimal fee. If the course does not result in an ANSI-CFP 5-year certificate, it is not acceptable. For questions about courses, call 610-344-6689.
