All is easy to learn
The training course includes a lot of important information. The course also has a lot of pictures, which is great for visual learners. it goes by pretty fast. I would like the option to skip through the parts that i already reviewed, as some parts does let you skip after you properly went through them. overall i would definitely recommend this to other employers.
This course was great! long but worth it.
This course was informative, and I learned a lot throughout the modules.
Really good and detailed training well explained as well very helpful.
I found the material to be incredibly informative and relevant. I wasn’t fully aware of the importance of food safety until now—thank you for providing such valuable insights.
A straightforward course, easy to follow and complete.
Watching these trainings and videos helped me understand a lot and now to make changes at home as well very thorough and understanding. I would definitely recommend this site for training to anyone I give 10/10
This training provided the information I needed to know for confidence as an aspiring new; first-time food service provider. The only thing I can think of at this time that I would like to see for improvement of food manager training is an area within the training course to ask or submit questions for clarification about information in each section or module of the course. For example, being able to ask questions about the comparison of functions in various states, such as the function of large, garage-door-style openings from indoor dining rooms to outdoor patio seating for customers (witnessed frequently in commercial food service establishments). This is in regard to the portion of training on keeping doors and windows closed, screened, and as recommended, having an air-curtain on doors.

Great Training
I appreciate taking the thorough time to explain, ask, and for me to answer these valuable questions.
Okay thank you
Amazing!
very easy
It was very especific
Learned some good info
Overall, the training offered was informative. However, there are parts of the testing process which included questions not covered in the specific modules previously viewed (although were covered in later modules). Also, you can’t “rewind” the training during a specific module unless you go to start the module over. This makes it difficult to relisten to important info from that specific module.

It was a great course
The Food Handler (or Food Manager) course is a foundational training designed to ensure that anyone preparing, serving, or managing food operations understands how to prevent foodborne illness, maintain sanitation standards, and comply with government health regulations.
It aligns with the FDA Food Code and typically prepares learners for the ServSafe Manager Exam or equivalent certification exams approved by local health departments.
The presentation was well put together & easy to digest. I also appreciated the ability to turn on subtitles.

Fairly informative and affective.
They give you a lot of information all at once and then you do the test but I think that’s a good way of seeing if the person was actually paying attention or not
