just do it.. its inexpensive and easy to navigate.

March 27, 2021

extremely informative, I learned plenty of useful information that I could use everywhere besides work. I recommend it to anyone in the food industry or not. it is supper long, so encourage you to take notes especially on the temperatures. I took it in one shot, 4 hours (i know). However, it took longer for me because I took notes.. 40 questions.
