It’s been over 25 years since I took this class at OCC so I needed to refresh my memory before taking the exam. Found it to be useful. Now comes the part to implement the procedures a little better at my job.
Great course, comparable to Serve safe
Very informational and guided!
My personal experience with this training was outstanding. I learned a lot about food safety, establishment management and how to keep my customers healthy and safe when consuming the baked goods I have prepared.
Wow

Great videos, quick and short.
It was very imformative.
Great learning experience, easy to navigate and access.
This training course laid out all the information needed to know about being a food manager. This is my first time taking these training modules. The videos and quizzes at the end of each module helped me further understand the information presented.
I like how this training is easy to understand and direct.
I’ve given 4 stars because I’m forced to give a review before the examination which I think is premature which I feel takes a star way but from the content that was provided I thought it was clear and concise and taught me a few things.
The training was concise and the presentation of information was easy to follow and understand. The training was engaging. I would recommend this training!
I like all the features that these modules except I need a speed feature to make all the instruction and questions to speed up (just like youtube offering a speed option). I have two master degrees and working on my third one so I am familiar with learning patterns and I would be more than greatly appreciated that I can learn at a fast speed and to expand my learning much more efficiently.
I learned a lot from taking this course. I’ve learned about things that I knew already but better solutions, also learned of things that will help out a lot in my kitchen that I will be able to pass down to employees. Thank y’all so much for y’all’s help.

The course was very educational, but I didn’t like how you couldn’t do back to a specific part of a module without it having to be replayed completely. Overall it was a good experience.
Needed to get my food license and found this to be very helpful and easy to use.
Too many typos and grammatical errors to take the course seriously. Plus the sound didn’t work.
I must say I was a little nervous because it’s been over 20 years I haven’t worked in hospitality but the test was very easy
Good
