CDM, CFPP Advice

As the title may suggest: I’ve been fortunate enough to both get approval to take the CDM, CFPP exam.

Some context: I’m eligible through the Pathway II (Bachelor’s in Culinary) and have been in various sectors of food service but currently, I am a Dining Services Manager in a 60 bed memory care community.

I was also so grateful that my company was willing to pay for the exam fees and such, so naturally I feel indebted for the opportunity.

I’ve also purchased the CDM study guides and some flash cards from ANFP.

With all of this said: can any current or former CDM’s provide some insight into the overall exam? Or do the study materials offer enough?

Please delete if not allowed.

Thank you for any and all help, I’ll be following up when I earn the credentials. 🙂
