Easy to follow and the test measured my knowledge adaquately.
Prepared me for the exam and helped me pass.
Very smooth learning process! All information is communicated through well constructed videos, and you should pass no problem. Taking notes/memorizing temperatures is helpful
Cool
This was a very informational course.
This food handler’s course was easy to do at home and simple to understand. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get their food handlers permit.
It was a great expereince
I learned a lot. Makes you think about what you do at home with food and food surfaces
Easy to understand courses
This is fast and easy. My only feedback is that it’s not optimized for mobile and some of the sounds/cc don’t work perfectly.
Uisd
Good class, very educational, and I would highly recommend it to others.
I enjoyed the course
Informative and helpful
This training is a requirement but it was so damn glitchy that I almost had a meltdown. I ended up having to rewatch/listen to almost every single segment because it wouldn’t allow me to continue 90% of the sections even though I’d watch it all the way through. I had to watch multiple segments 3 or even 4 times before the dang thing would let me proceed! It was the most frustrating certificate class I’ve ever had to partake in.
Very good
It was incredible helpful to learn the proper handling of prepping and serving food

VERY LONG PROCESS, BUT VERY INFORMATIVE
It has been great following this course and learning complex and simple concepts thru great visuals and voiceover. Highly recommend.
It was very easy to follow. And is 100% on your timing. No rush. Exit out when and when you come back you’re right where you left off. No problem!
Wonderful course and well categorized around different topics, and each topic throughly explained.
no
Good
It is WONDERFUL
Quick and informative
Multiple times, there would be questions asked that had not yet been mentioned only for the answer to come AFTER the quiz. Most notably was when asking about cooking times in relations to reducing possible bacteria or viruses and a question came up about Trichinella for cooking pork, however that wasn’t mentioned until immediately after the question so there’s no way for the person to know the answer to the question.
good
EXCELENT COURSE
amazing
The color of the lettering i had trouble seeing. But other than that this was really great learning course.
This course was a shorter course than others I had found online. It moved at a rapid pace keeping me focused. I learned some new facts which was very helpful. I liked the short quizzes in-between the modules. I also liked that this is a woman and minority-owned business. I will definitely recommend this course to others who need this certification.
This course was Efficient & easy to maneuver.

Really easy to understand in simple terms,
I think this training was easy to follow however I think some of the shorter modules could have been combine to make for less clicking.
EFFECTIVE AND APPROPRIATE
The training flowed and was easy to follow. Wish there was a 2x speed option for people who have been food safe certified before, but it’s been a while so that we can review more quickly.
Pretty comprehensive. I certainly took a lot of notes while trying to keep up. I wish there was the option to reverse or skip forward in the videos in order to reach specific timestamps, but that’s just a nothing sandwich.
I found that this site was very informative and easily understood.
.
I liked the fact it was presented quickly
It was simple and easy to follow along
fun and interesting facts to leaern and know about food handling
Hello, I did the food manager’s course and honestly it was super easy to understand and get through, hassle free.
The course is of much common sense knowledge. It is pretty straight forward but it takes time. A 6th grader probably can do this well.
I enjoyed how thorough the testing was and have learned a lot from this!
Good information and easy to follow slides
This was a straightforward and simple program
The stuff to lean it was really simple and easy to learn.
