Hospitality compliance training across the United States
Allara Global's certificate programs are written by educators and built for hospitality, with records kept audit-ready from day one.
A federal baseline, then your state and county
US training mandates vary by state — but the duty to protect your guests, your team and your standards applies everywhere. Our four certificate programs are ANAB-accredited under ASTM E2659.

Four ANAB-accredited certificate programs by Allara Global
Each program is accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) under ASTM E2659, the standard for certificate programs. Accreditation independently assesses how a program is designed, delivered and assessed. It applies to the program itself, not to the person who completes it.
All four programs are self-paced and completed online in about two to three hours. Learners get 30 days' access, and a certificate is issued once they pass the final assessment.
