The nationally recognized food safety training and certification program by the National Restaurant Association provides the latest science-based information on food safety and best practices in the industry. There are two courses offered in the North Platte, Ogallala, Lexington and McCook Area. They are designed for food service managers and supervisory staff in restaurants, hospitals, schools, long-term care facilities and other food handling establishments. Nebraska Extension in Lincoln, Logan, and McPherson offered these two courses through the year.

2025 Master Gardener Classes Coming Soon
The Nebraska Master Gardener program is a horticulture related volunteer training program based in many counties throughout the state. It has been part of UNL Extension since 1976. Master Gardener volunteers are trained by UNL Extension faculty and staff. They contribute time as volunteers working through their local Extension office to provide horticulture-related information to their community. More specifically, they provide education about sustainable horticultural practices. Participants are required to complete 40 hours of training and 40 hours of volunteer service during the initial year of their involvement in the program. Master Gardener volunteers retain their certification through annual training and volunteering.
