Good questions ,
The course was simple & therefore easy to follow/understand. In addition, it also wasn’t very long. It’s concise.
The training was very informative and included all necessary details required to perform as a food handler.
I think it would be more beneficial if there were short quizzes in between modules so we can make sure we are understanding what is being said and get them correct
Great and very informative, glad to get my food handlers finally.
Easy and interesting to follow along with
While doing this course I learned how it’s important to maintain a clean environment and being clean yourself helps everyone to stay safe from any type of disease. I learned that food borne is contagious. In 1993 when E.Coli outbreak happened about 732 people were infected, 178 people with permanent injuries and 4 children died from being infected by others.
It was a good training course to learn and get educated with things you will need to learn to have a good and safe food environment.
It was okay just a long course took a lot of time
Good
Very informative and useful information.
it takes forever.
I needed to take a food handler course to get a cottage food license. This one covered a lot of subjects, more than I thought it would. I feel confident I can start my cottage food business with proper food handling procedures.
Very informative and easy to understand
