There are a few ways this can be done:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Instructor-led training<\/li><li>Online courses<\/li><li>Group training at your facility<\/li><li>Customized classes<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are benefits to each of these options, and there&#8217;s enough flexibility to choose which course works best for you and your business. Instructor-led training offers the opportunity to delve deeper into food safety topics and ask questions, while online food safety certification courses can be taken at your leisure. If the standard training at an offsite location isn&#8217;t convenient, and you&#8217;d prefer a real-life food safety expert over an online course, Safe Food Training can come to you and offer group training or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.safefoodtraining.com\/customized-training\/\">customized training<\/a> that fits your specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you&#8217;ve passed your food safety training course exam. Congratulations! Does that mean you&#8217;re ready to go and officially a Minnesota CFPM? Not quite yet. Just passing the exam doesn&#8217;t officially make you a certified food protection manager in Minnesota. There&#8217;s one more step, and fortunately it&#8217;s an easy one. After passing your food safety certification exam, you must fill out an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.state.mn.us\/communities\/environment\/food\/docs\/cfpm\/cfminitappnew.pdf\">application<\/a> in order to register with the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find information concerning current fees and the appropriate mailing address to submit an application, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.state.mn.us\/communities\/environment\/food\/cfpm\/howto.html\">Minnesota Department of Health CFPM website<\/a> will have the most up-to-date information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you need assistance with training options?
