Got what I needed.
Easy to follow. Good info. Inexpensive.
I could not view if I got any questions wrong or if I got them all correct. Some may not care to know, but I would like to know that! That would be only thing I would change about this site ..
easy to do online
The only thing I wish for is a speed option, as the pacing is kinda slow.

Even though all these information is very dense, the way videos are made in sections and interactions are a better way to study. Hopefully I would only need one take on the exam.
the course was precise and understandable. I found it comfortable to watch the videos and learn all the steps.
I enjoyed going through each module and learning specific things needed for each food and learning about the danger zone for temperature which was 41 F and 135 F. I also enjoyed learning about food allergies because I only known few of them. This helped me get a better understanding on how to handle foods and what temperatures to put them in.
Everything is really well-structured information is very clear and easy to understand I would definetly recommend this to all of my friends.
Very informative, glad to be certified.
This course was relatively quick. Everything presented was done so in a simple, easy to understand way and was also quick and to the point. I took notes, but I feel that the review questions along the way were helpful and I probably didn’t need the extra notes I have.
It was good
I actually learned a few things that I didn’t know already.
I enjoyed the course, I enjoyed the pace, the visuals, the explanations etc!
I learn a lot
The course was very comprehensive.
Easy way to get this requirement completed. Very informative
It was a very long course but it helped me a lot to prepare for the exam.
This has teach me a lot how to be prepared to handle the food
