The University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will host certified food protection manager trainings by distance delivery March 8 and April 12.

The food safety management trainings will be offered by Zoom from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A computer-based certification exam is included, with proctors in Fairbanks, Glennallen, Juneau, Palmer, Sitka and Valdez. Proctors may be available in additional communities, as requested.

State regulations require that all food establishments have at least one certified food protection manager on staff to ensure compliance with food safety regulations.

The registration deadline for the March 8 training is Feb. 21, so participants will receive the study guide beforehand. March 30 is the deadline to sign up for the April 12 training. Registration and more information are available at http://bit.ly/CFPM2021. Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made seven business days in advance to the instructor, Julie Cascio, at jmcascio@alaska.edu.

The $200 fee includes one certification exam. For additional information or to request another location, contact Cascio at 907-745-3677 or jmcascio@alaska.edu.
