Businesses serving food in Illinois must have staff trained as Certified Food Protection Managers. The two-day course will cover the federal food code, including topics of safe food handling, proper cooking temperatures, employee hygiene, and facility safety, and prepare students to take a national exam on the second day of class.

Certificates must be renewed every five years.
