The Nutrition and Food Service Management certificate is specifically designed for individuals with a qualifying degree or background experience in the food service field to be prepared for the Certified Dietary Managers (CDM) exam. The nationally-recognized credentialing exam is administered through the Association of Nutrition and Foodservice Professionals (ANFP). The Ferris certificate is the only one in the State of Michigan that is approved by the ANFP. The certificate was developed in direct response to the need for more CDMs in the growing health care field. CDMs are typically employed in areas such as assisted living, long term care, rehabilitation centers, acute care, and day care facilities.
