Food Handler Reviews

loved it. very helpful and at my own pace
It’s thanks to this food handler’s training course that I now know the proper ways to store, handle, prepare, cook, serve, and maintain the safest temperature for any given food item. Unfortunately, due to the robotic computerized voice and disingenuous health inspector avatar, it makes it difficult to stay properly immersed and focused on the training course without a living human presence.
This is the body of the review, telling people about my experiences.
Course was informative and helpful.
Excellent program
Excellent program
great course
Perfect course, easy to comprehend.
The site was user-friendly and easy to navigate.
Too many modules and many are too short. Some have one sentence. makes it boring and time consuming.
It was great! I learned a lot.
The videos are short and to the point.

This training was very to the point effective plain and simple. Very detailed learning experience.
The course was smooth. I like the periodic quizzes. I would’ve liked to have left my review after my practice test so I know how much the materials prepared me for the practice (I understand the limitations of prepping for the actual test). But it was easy to navigate, no tech problems, and gave me ideas for my shop that I plan on implementing.
Thorough, captivating, easy to move through program!
I really appreciated the thoroughness of this training. Also, it was very helpful having the review quizzes located all throughout the modules. I learned so many new things that I wasn’t aware of and will begin practicing immediately.
Good content and interactive experience. Thank you. AAA! 🙂
well done
I will give a complete review once i have completed my study exams and taken my exam. until then I have enjoyed the class this far and have learned a lot. we give full review once finished.

Thorough and well done with the graphics
This training was very thorough. The Modules were very easy to follow and the review questions were a great follow up to each chapter. Look forward to apply the knowledge i have gained in this course.
This training was convenient and completed on my own time schedule. I appreciate that it was online.
Some of the information came and went a little too quickly on the slide show. I did need to pause and repeat a few of the screens to be sure I understood what it was telling me.

INCREDIBLE USE OF AI IN THE FREE MARKET
Videos to long and having to go to next slide was horrible.
Lots of info. easy to follow
This course felt painless. Normally, going through any course feels tedious, but this course’s slide shows and interactive features kept my attention and made me want to continue learning.
This program was easy to use and straight forward.
Was easy enough o pay attention to the videos
Learned a lot. Great course👍
This was very informative and easy to understand
Good explanation, videos
Good training and not very boring
I spent the last few hours going through all of the sessions and I have learned so much! I feel prepared for the exam.
I was getting tired of listening to to person. And at times I was wanting to read so I go a bit faster and I learn better by visual.
This was the most informative and easy to follow trainings. It was separated in modules that made sense and when topics are separated by modules, it uplifts topics necessary for good food handlers.
Well Organized and informative but precise.
