The training covers topics such as vector, sanitation, food, and water safety. This training is unique to Coconino County due to the Grand Canyon and river guide training needs.

Coconino County requires all establishments that serve open food, which requires time/temperature control for food safety, to have at lease one Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM) on staff. The CFPM shall be physically present during operation hours. The CFPM certification and training is different than a standard Food Manager Certification.

• The CFPM Certificate must be visible or readily accessible and kept at the establishment for health Inspections.
• The certificate is valid for five (5) years.
• To obtain a CFPM Certificate, you must pass an exam administered by an American National Standards Institute-Accredited provider.
• Training costs vary and the majority of programs offer the option for virtual instruction as well as a virtually proctored test.

Coconino County no longer offers CFPM training. All CFPM training is done through an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited program.
