Glad it’s over very stressful
This course was very well organized and easy to follow. I originally purchased a different course. Very shady that the other course asked for a review before the course would even start. This course was more money but definitely worth it. Especially since now I have paid for the other course and will most likely not get a refund.
Easy training gets to the point without the extra nonsense.
This was a really good course and informational. Thank you.
It was good, a lot of important information that helped me to realize the significance for a manager to keep everyone safe and keep up with the business at the same time. Such as identifying potential biological, chemical, food borne hazards that could lead to an unsafe situation.
A good resource. The presentation controls need to be updated, but a strong resource nonetheless.
it was easy to do. tedious, but easy. had to reread some questions as it was difficult sometimes to tell what they mean.
I completed the AAA Food Handler course, and I’m really happy with it! Everything was clear, informative, and easy to follow. The lessons covered all the important topics.
The online format was super convenient. It was a great experience, and I feel much more confident now.
i have a lot things i learned
