If you have been in the kitchen grease exhaust cleaning business and can show 500 hours of recent experience, then you have the option to get Certified via an online exam. It is very affordable to get certified for either 1 year, 2 years, or 3 years. You will need to submit 10 sets of before/after pictures from 10 different restaurants that you have recently cleaned, proof of 500 hours of experience, and current proof of liability insurance along with the completion of our 100-question online exam based upon NFPA 96 Standards, UL, OSHA, and the EPA.
The NFPA 96 Certification Preparation Course is an online education session. Once you have completed all requirements, you will be issued a 1-year Certification. This course is designed for someone who needs NPFA 96 Technical knowledge. It will cover OSHA, pressure washers, EPA, chemicals, and general Kitchen Grease Exhaust Cleaning questions that you may see on the written exam. Click Get Certified Today to get started.
We use and follow the NFPA 96 Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations as our gold standard for kitchen exhaust cleaning.
We offer a 100-question written exam based on the NFPA 96 and real-world “experience” cleaning hoods.
We work with HoodCleaningSchool.com in the Chicagoland market to train those who need to be set up with a complete turn-key hood & duct cleaning business.
We offer solutions to help you meet the NFPA 96 requirements to be certified to clean kitchen exhaust systems.
