Once you have successfully completed the Pathway V Training and meet all current CBDM eligibility requirements including a minimum of two years of full-time non-commercial foodservice management work experience*, you're eligible to take the CDM Credentialing Exam. The UND Certificate of Completion, an Employment Verification Form and job description should be submitted to the CBDM when applying for the CDM Credentialing Exam. The exam is offered year-round using computer based testing.

*Non-commercial foodservice operations serve food as support within an institution such as hospitals, nursinghomes, schools, military, correctional facilities, or community feeding programs and are typically subsidized by the institution from which they operate. They have third-party oversight by agencies such as The Joint Commission (TJC), local and/or state health departments, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), etc.
