The food handlers course was easy to follow and gave clear and precise information. I was able to follow along without any issues. I also appreciated that I was able to sign out when I needed to step away for other obligations, then return right back where is was in the review process. The test didn’t take long either and based on the review information, was easy to pass.
Great course
Entirely too many modules
Excellent training!
Course is easy, informative and to the point.
The training was very detailed, comprehensive and thorough. This refresher course was absolutely helpful.
Very understandable, and enjoyable.
I enjoyed watching the videos it helped me understand and know about the food industry and the people safety’s.
a majority of the course did not have any audio and the closed captioning needs to be turned on manually every time.
i enjoyed the course it was simple and effective at getting the point across for the things i needed to know to obtain my food handlers certificate
This website is probably the fastest to take your quiz. And for the price you can’t beat it
