All programs align with CFP standards and meet state and local food safety regulations.

Summary: AAA Food Handler provides accredited, fully online Food Manager and Food Handler programs that ensure managers meet Alaska’s regulatory requirements and are prepared for inspections.

Course / Training Overview

Alaska requires a Person in Charge (PIC) to demonstrate food safety knowledge. Certain establishments must employ a Certified Food Protection Manager (CFPM), including:

  • Facilities preparing or serving unpackaged foods
  • Permits lasting four or more days
  • Some temporary events

AAA Food Handler offers online CFPM training and an ANAB CFP-accredited exam recognised in states and local regulations where a Certified Food Protection Manager is required.

  • English and Spanish options
  • Instant electronic certificate upon passing
  • Remote proctoring supported

Summary: This course equips managers with the knowledge to control food safety risks, comply with Alaska regulations, and maintain staff readiness.

Regulatory Overview & State Requirements:

Alaska follows its own food code (18 AAC 31), and Anchorage incorporates the 2013 FDA Model Food Code. Key requirements include:

  • At least one CFPM must be present in required facilities during hours of operation

  • Bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat foods is prohibited without an approved variance
