NEW! ANFP Marketing Toolkit
This toolkit was developed to help you increase your enrollment through different marketing tactics.
- Develop your brand by understanding how to improve messaging on your program’s webpage and incorporate key wording.
- Save time with pre-built forms to send to long-term care companies and high school culinary vocational programs telling them about your program.
- Use focused materials to support your efforts when adding the IIIb Pathway.
- Add a slide loop in school common areas to let students know about your program.
Welcome to the ANFP Instructor Resource Center! This is a private page for instructors and program directors to easily locate forms and documents you might use frequently. For assistance, please contact the ANFP Education Department at education@ANFPonline.org.

Exam Content Outline – Effective March 1, 2025
Every five years, a job analysis survey is conducted by the Certifying Board for Dietary Managers (CBDM) so that the CDM, CFPP Credentialing Exam Content Outline represents the current scope of practice. The job analysis is a primary mechanism by which a certifying body or regulatory board can ensure the accuracy and defensibility of an exam. Thus, the job analysis serves as the primary basis for content validity evidence, as required by testing standards.
Results from the analysis survey are used to update the Exam Content Outline which is the basis for:
- CDM, CFPP Credentialing Exam
- CDM, CFPP Scope of Practice
- ANFP Training Program curriculum
- Textbooks
- CDM, CFPP Credentialing Exam study materials
