detailed and educational
videos need the ability to rewind so you don’t have to replay the entire video if you miss a word or concept.
My only wish was that you can scroll the video while playing the first go around…like if I didn’t hear something correctly, I would like to replay it right away.
good course

Good training program.
i love that i got to do the course on my own pace. and maria was a great help.
The Food Handler Course is a very informative course. It gave me a lot of information, used as a guidance on how food can be handled correctly, and also to prevent others from consuming food poisoning that are caused from cross-contamination and cross-contact, and also temperature abuse.
This program was very easy for me to do and easy to understand. Also did not take long to complete at all.
amazing
It’s a easy test most of it is generally common sense.
This is my second time taking this exam. Very easy to understand. I enjoyed the refresher.
I randomly clicked on this test as an option and was very pleased to learn that I was supporting a minority/woman owned business!
Good
Great course!
My first FMCC was back in 2006. Although I’m not a fan of having to take any type of tests, we’ll see how this one goes! I have found this course to be a bit more interesting than the previous ones taken. It goes quickly, is easy to understand, but I probably could have done without the “feeling worms move in their mouth” part. Other than that, two thumbs up!!!
A lot of information. take it all in
I liked this training, but did not like the AI voice used to read all the info to us.
It was informative
Very good
