muy informatibo mucha informacion muy inpotante
The training is detailed and very informational/educative. Even as a chartered health & safety professional, i still learned alot from each module.
Well done. I wish there was a way to just read or put this in 2xs the speed. other than that, well done.
The Course was very informative and very well structured.
i learned alot however my kitchen is pretty much a snack bar so it was alot of info i did not need i wish it could be more tailored to what we do.
i did love how modern and up to date all the pic, videos and people were. I feel like most training vids are from the 70s-80s it seems haha
Very well covered of all information needed in aspects of running a commercial kitchen
Easy yo follow and full of good information
Este curso me gusto mucho, es claro, organizado y su contenido es muy secuencial.
He aprendido bastante con cada uno de los modulos.
Great course, and good information
I’ve never taken a food handlers course ever but for my first time it was fairly simple to follow the prompts. The information is clear and concise however, there is a lot of information that is provided and notes are a must. The only downfall is not being able to go back in increments of 10 seconds especially when there is a valuable bit of of information that you want to write down for your notes. If you miss it or aren’t pausing it every 5-10 seconds with subtitles, you will have to watch the video all over again. Overall, GREAT COURSE!
This was very easy to learn from. Good video and graphics. I highly recommend.

great
This course was very thorough! I gained a lot of knowledge and information that I had no idea existed. Thank you!
I was literally thawing a steak on the counter and put it in the fridge, then watched the section on thawing food. 🙂 Fun stuff.
Does exactly what it needs to, but the artificial voice is grating and the volume is inconsistent
Class was good and informative on the importance of food safety and leadership in the food service business.
Was good
This course was very helpful and taught me a lot of information that I will need when starting a food business. However, as someone who learns through interacting with problems and questions, rather that just watching videos, I think I could have learned more if there were more problems and questions to answer throughout the videos.
Good but long
It was easy to do and fun to see Maria making weird faces
Thank you AAA. I learned a lot and thank you for this Managers Food Handling course.
Very important
Great, fun, and easy-to-do modules. Would recommend it to anyone looking to get their certification!
