NTS offers you the very best foodservice sanitation training available. Our professional trainers use a variety of teaching methods and exercises to facilitate learning. We offer the ServeSafe® Food Protection Manager Training and certification developed by the National Restaurant Association. The eight-hour training meets the mandated State of Alaska and Municipality of Anchorage regulations for Food Protection Manager Certification.

If you run a foodservice operation, you already know how important it is to maintain safe food handling practices in your establishment. You just can't afford to have your customers be exposed to foodborne illness. The last thing in the world you need is a headline in the paper naming your establishment as the source of a foodborne illness outbreak. This could cost thousands of dollars, or even put you out of business.

Millions of Americans become sick from foodborne illness, although the majority of cases are never linked to food. There is no such thing as a "twenty-four hour flu," and those symptoms are almost certainly the result of contaminated food. According to a recent study conducted by Cornell University only 54% of food service workers know how to properly wash and sanitize a cutting board between cutting fresh meat and preparing fresh vegetables. We can teach your employees how to handle food safely during our four hour class.

The Municipality of Anchorage recently adopted the new Municipal Food Code which mandates that the operator of a foodservice establishment "shall have at least one certified food protection manager for each location." And the State of Alaska recently amended the Alaska Food Service Code (18 AAC 31) to make it mandatory that "each operator of a foodservice establishment must have a certified manager present during each shift if there has been a documented inability to serve food safely.

You can't afford not to have your management and staff trained in safe food handling procedures. Not only is it the "right" thing to do, it's the law. Most establishments lack the necessary time or resources to train in-house. NANA Training Systems (NTS) can help provide all of your training needs. We have the very latest course materials, technology and professional instruction available. Which means that you save time, materials and human resources.
