This course is designed to teach student's effective techniques for cleaning kitchen exhaust systems in the real world. Particular emphasis is placed on the NFPA 96 Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations to ensure that students understand fire prevention regulations as they pertain to Kitchen Exhaust Cleaners. In addition, this course covers environmental issues that impact the Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning industry. 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 your needs.

Note: The 2008 edition of NFPA 96 11.3 states that 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 edition) this course, along with Phil Ackland Certification, is for you. In addition, if you work in areas where NFPA 96 has not been adopted certification can be used as a good sales tool for you. It tells your customers that you are trained to look out for their safety and interest.

This Informative 5-Day Course will include:

• 3-Days of RAHSCO Kitchen Grease Exhaust Instruction
• On-the-Job and Class-Room Training based on NFPA-96, International Fire and Mechanical Code, and OSHA Regulations.
• 2-Days of Phil Ackland Certified Kitchen Grease Exhaust Training plus PAC (Phil Ackland Certification) Certification Testing (PAC is for 3 years).
• 1-year Membership in PWNA (Power Washers of North America, www.pwna.org ).

Student Comment: "I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed you and attending your school. I learned a lot, not only about cleaning the system but also about the NFPA standards.
