I recently completed the Food Manager Certification course, and it exceeded my expectations. The course was interactive, informative, and engaging, making it easy to stay focused throughout. The material was presented in a clear and concise manner, with real-world examples that made the information easy to understand and apply. Overall, the course was well-prepared, highly organized, and professionally delivered. I would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking a solid foundation in food safety and management.
This course was self paced, easy to learn, and beneficial. I recommend to anyone that needs to get their certification .
This program was easy to follow and easy to pass.
Very well organized training
very well explained,
Was able to complete on my time
This is a great training all the way around. It is long and a little arduous, but well worth it. It is very informative and simple to understand. The training is divided into 10 sessions, each of which is further broken down into various sections. These sections are very straightforward. Very easy to take notes and follow through. The only negative thing I have to say is that if you miss something being said, you can’t scroll backwards; you have to repeat that lesson of that section.
Covered a wide range of concepts in a way that was easy to understand
I found the course to be standard in almost all the information provided however, particularly at the earlier points in the course, I found several instances of information that should have been taught concurrently was split up. This non-linear dissemination made written note taking quite problematic and impeded what could be a more natural flow throughout the lessons. The topic that this was most prevalent in was the discussion of Bio Hazards including discussion of various pathogens. I specifically recall a lesson review with questions regarding Trichinella and Shiga Toxin when they had not yet been covered in the course. Immediately following that review section, those topics were then covered. Outside of those issues I found the course to be rather buggy. I used an iPad A16 (2025) with the latest software update as of today 11/16/25. Also as a note, it would be very helpful to rewind each video along the slider bar to a specific point rather than having to replay the entire video.
Good Stuff!
It was an easy and Interesting course. I learned things I did not know .
The importance of keep food safe to avoid any outbreak. The importance of keeping the food facilities clean and safe. The importance of give training to your staff and record and report everything. The importance of times and temperatures in a food facility.
I like how the course simplify things!
Simple yet effective information
Learned a lot.
