KITCHEN EXHAUST / HOOD CLEANING 5 DAY SCHOOL

Ackland / Powerwash University 5-Day Kitchen Grease Exhaust Cleaning School

Featuring:  Phil Ackland Certification  The leader in Kitchen Exhaust Certification  

The 2008 edition of NFPA 96 11.3 states: “the entire exhaust system shall be inspected by a properly trained qualified and certified company or person(s) acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.” If your state or local authorities have adopted, or will adopt NFPA 96 (2001 or later edition) this course, and the accompanying Phil Ackland Certification, is for you. In addition, if you work in areas where NFPA 96 has not been adopted, the certification you receive is a great selling point. It tells your customers that you are trained to look out for their safety and interest.

Whether you are a new operator just starting out, a small company with specialized training needs, or a large company that wants their people to have the best possible training, this course is tailored to meet all of your kitchen exhaust certification needs.
