Food Manager Reviews

I liked when there were interactive things to click on, I wish there was more of that. I also really liked the review questions I wish at the end there was a final review since there was a lot of information and it would be nice to have a refresher on everything.
I just completed my food manager’s certification and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The instruction was top-notch – clear, engaging, and easy to follow. The course material covered everything I needed to know without feeling overwhelming, and the online format made it convenient to work through at my own pace. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get certified.
Modules were easy to understand + great illustrations. I do wish the program was downloadable and accessible off Wi-Fi.
The course was great very informative
Very long, but Packed full of useful information
I fount the program easy to use. The information was detailed and clearly explained and very comprehensive for full understanding of food safety requirements.
Most the information was the same as the previous ones I have taken, but there were two things that was included and different in this one.
There are several options of providers of this course and, upon completing it, I know I made The Right Choice. I liked the way the course was done (presented) in short segments. I haven’t made it to the test (trial and real) phases of the course but I’m sure it’ll be fine…
