Certified Food Protection Manager  \n2. Allergen Training (required for Certified Food Protection Managers)  \n3. Food Handler Certification  \nCertified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) requirement is based on the risk category of your food establishment. The requirements in DuPage County for our risk-based system are as follows:  \n􀂃 Risk Category I and Risk Category II operations must have at least one CFPM present during all hours of operation. The person in charge must be a CFPM.  \n􀂃 Risk Category III operations do not require a CFPM; however, at least one is recommended. To become certified, an 8-hour course approved by the American National Standards InstituteConference for Food Protection (ANSI-CFP) must be completed. At the end of the course an examination must be successfully completed with a score of 75% or above. Certificates are valid for five years.  \nAllergen Training – All Risk Category I restaurants must have at least one CFPM who has undergone allergen training through an ANSI-CFP approved course. Allergen Training certificates are valid for three years.  \nFood Handler Certification-All food handlers, other than someone holding a CFPM certificate, shall receive or obtain training in basic food handling principles. ( Food handlers working for a temporary food service or volunteer employees are exempt from this requirement. ) Food Handler Certificates are valid for three years.  \nCourse Providers  \nThe following is a partial list of providers of the Certified Professional Food Manager (CPFM); some providers also offer Food Handler, and Allergen training courses (refer to the key below):  \n[360training.com](360training.com), Inc.   \n[www.360training.com/food-beverage](www.360training.com/food-beverage)programs/food-managercertification/illinois-food-safetymanager-certification  \nAbove Training/State Food Safety  \n[www.statefoodsafety.com/](www.statefoodsafety.com/)  \nCorporate Training Cntr, Ltd.   \nRuth Anerino  \n[www.ctcfoodsanitation.com](www.ctcfoodsanitation.com)  \n[630-357-3525 or 800-705-8204](630-357-3525 or 800-705-8204)  \nIL Restaurant Assn.   \n312-787-4000  \n[www.illinoisrestaurants.org](www.illinoisrestaurants.org)  \n2/2019  \nInnerspace Environmental  \nBob Brewster  \n[www.innerspaceenvironmental.com](www.innerspaceenvironmental.com)[ ](www.innerspaceenvironmental.com)[630-690-1088](630-690-1088)  \nNational Restaurant Assn.   \n[www.servsafe.com](www.servsafe.com)  \nMy Food Service License  \nChris Viso: 773-682-0420  \n([Chris@myfoodservicelicense.com](Chris@myfoodservicelicense.com))  \n[www.myfoodservicelicense.com](www.myfoodservicelicense.com)  \nPaladin Mgmt Consultants  \nMichael Paladin: 630-554-3663  \n[www.safefood.com](www.safefood.com)  \nFood Handlers Corp.  \n[888-793-5136](888-793-5136www.sfhcorp.com)[www.sfhcorp.com](888-793-5136www.sfhcorp.com)  \nThe Safe Dining Associates   \nGuy Rallo: 630-434-0588  \n[www.safedining.com](www.safedining.com)  \nSanta Lucia Food Safety  \nMaria Santa Lucia: 773-502-5262  \n[www.slfoodsafety.com](www.slfoodsafety.com)  \nGreg Stolis & Associates  \nWestmont-630-960-1135  \n Online Classes Available  \n Classes in Spanish  \n Classes in Spanish, Chinese Korean, Japanese, & French  \n Food handler training  \n Allergen training","cbCaipzMYxlz4CHZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipzMYxlz4CHZ","pdf",131553,"English","# Certification and Training Types\n## Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM)\n## Allergen Training\n## Food Handler Certification\n# Risk-Based Requirements in DuPage County\n# Course Providers and Contact Information\n## Online Classes and Language Options","[{\"question\":\"What are the three types of food service training or certification required in Illinois?\",\"answer\":\"The document lists Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM), Allergen Training, and Food Handler Certification for staff working in food service establishments.\"},{\"question\":\"How do risk categories affect CFPM requirements in DuPage County?\",\"answer\":\"Risk Category I and II operations must have at least one CFPM present during all hours, and the person in charge must be a CFPM.
