Questions, answered clearly.

What is included in in-person CFPM training?

The in-person option combines full-day CFPM training + a same-day proctored certification exam. Class materials and exam preparation are included. Visit In-Person Training for upcoming Bozeman dates, current package pricing, and registration.

How does live online CFPM training work?

Join Laura through Google Meet for two live sessions: Tuesday and Wednesday, 11:00 AM–2:00 PM MT. Both sessions are required. Clear explanations, practical examples, and time for questions connect exam preparation with everyday food-business decisions. See Online Training for available dates.

Is the online certification exam included?

Online training is $200 per attendee. The $100 certification exam is purchased and scheduled separately through an accredited testing provider. You receive step-by-step purchasing and scheduling instructions. The in-person package includes its same-day proctored exam.

Can I register myself or someone from my team?

Yes. You can register as an individual, register one employee, or arrange training for several people. Complete one registration form per attendee. If you are registering multiple attendees, complete their forms first, then use the payment instructions to pay for the total number of registrations.

How do registration and payment work?

Choose your training option and available class date, then complete the registration form. The confirmation screen provides the Stripe payment link to finish registration. Your place is confirmed after payment; submitting the form alone does not complete registration.

What study help and support will I receive?

You receive class materials, practice resources, exam guidance, and support from registration through testing. Registered online students also receive access to the private Study Corner, with preparation tools and resources in one place.

Are the online classes live or recorded?

The current online CFPM classes are live, instructor-led sessions. Recorded, on-demand training is planned as a future offering. For now, choose a live class you can attend for both scheduled sessions.

Can you help with the business beyond training?

Yes. Finley Food & Beverage Consulting also supports business startup, HACCP planning, operating procedures, and recordkeeping tailored to your operation. The aim is a business that runs more clearly and consistently—with more breathing room for the people behind it.
