American Academy Online Testing Center
AAIS is pleased to announce that our students can now submit their exams online via the American Academy Online Testing
Center *. Grading is instantaneous, and students can download grade reports for each exam. Online exam correction is only
one of many new technology based service improvements that AAIS has recently introduced. Students may also:
• print grade reports
• print a Certificate upon completion of course
• view exam result history
• view lesson shipment information
• receive online support
These new online features are standard for all active AAIS students at no additional cost.
AAIS is proud of our more than two decades of expertise in helping working people learn from home. This Online Testing Center is just another way to add value to our students as they learn a new career and continue their education through lifelong learning!
*Online testing is available for all 30 hour courses and all three ACF refresher courses (SAN 0800, MGT0800, and NUT 0800).
ACF makes the American Academy of Independent Studies an Afinnity Partner to provide a Source of Distance Education Certification Courses and Refresher Courses.
American Academy of Independent Studies (AAIS) offers distance education courses on a variety of nutrition, food safety, and foodservice subjects, helping ACF members earn, or maintain, their certification. 17 courses are approved by the education department of the ACF for certification requirements and for renewal of certification. AAIS has now been elevated to Affinity Partner status! Since 1984, when AAIS first began to offer ACF members distance education courses, the school has provided over 15,000 courses to chefs from all over the world.
As Chef A. Douglas Benner will tell you, AAIS puts your satisfaction first:
"I can't say enough good things about the AAIS staff. I was under tight time constraints to finish my recertification and they bent over backwards to help me get everything done on time. The refresher courses were informative and well thought - out. It was a joy working with everyone I talked to. I've taken classes just about every way possible and this was by far the best experience."
AAIS Provides Sanitation Course to Fulfill PA State Requirement.
Will your staff be certified when the state inspectors arrive? If you're not familiar with the new law or you're not sure if it applies to you, it's actually fairly simple.
The act was the product of an industry-driven initiative to establish minimum food safety training requirements to be met by at least one supervisory employee in most food establishments in this Commonwealth. A partial list of food establishments in need of this certification are:
A room, building, place or portion thereof or vehicle maintained, used or operated for the purpose of selling to the public, commercially storing, packaging, making, cooking, mixing, processing, bottling, baking, canning, freezing, packing or otherwise preparing, transporting or handling food. The term includes retail food stores and public eating and drinking licensees, except those portions of establishments operating exclusively under milk or milk products permits and those portions of establishments operating exclusively under United States Department of Agriculture inspection. Also included are food establishments or a section of a food establishment where food and food products are offered to the consumer and intended for off-premises consumption.
How do you get certified? One way is to locate a Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture approved program, pay the full amount for the course, and spend several business days, nights, or weekends completing the classroom training, as well as handling the travel expenses for yourself or your employees.
Or, you can take a much more convenient and cost-effective approach: enroll today in a home study course with The American Academy of Independent Studies (AAIS).
Forget missed work or late night classes! Home study is one of the easiest ways to acquire certification. Why? AAIS puts you in charge by offering unsurpassed education, convenience and value.
