The lady’s that made this program did an amazing job. its very educational and would recommend this to other people.
This was helpful, informative and very useful
Excelente información para mi aprendizaje…gracias
Good
This was a fine course and gave me the information I needed to pass the exam. However, there were quite a few typos throughout and the voice was clearly AI and robotic. It wasn’t very engaging and I wish there had been more “practice questions” after each section.
This information should be shared with everyone. It will help keep people safe at home and in restaurants. Anyone eating or cooking should follow these procedures.
First of all, I can’t stand the automated voice. with thousands of people paying almost 10 dollars per card, you can pay a voice actor to do your course. Do not participate in the choking out of talented jobs.
Secondly, what’s with the spelling and grammar errors? I regret supporting this course but unfortunately I already have so you can keep my money.

I took this course to become educated when it comes to food handling and found it very insighful.
It’s saying we should all change gloves every 4 hours between tasks. After doing dirty jobs with the gloves on or if the glove rips, we all wash our hands first and then put on new gloves. Not only that, I knew that chicken is supposed to be cooked at a higher temperature then beef, steak, and salmon. temperature danger zone, food cools down for more than 4 hours. Reheating is not gonna do ANYTHING. A crumb on the floor brings bugs and when there’s bugs, the foods are being contaminated again and it’s biological hazard. When we wash hands 20, turn off the faucet with your elbow or turn off the faucet with the paper towel and then air dry and use your feet to kick open the push door or use the paper towel to pull the door open. Chicken, beef, fish, and salmon should be WAY WAY below the ready to eat foods. COMPLETELY AT THE BOTTOM. Food should be stored 6 in off the ground. Everything in this world have germs, Your phone has germs, Cash has germs, anything. I can’t describe which thing has the most germs. We can do all to prevent it from spreading. No matter how delicious it looks, if you eat food from the floor, it’s biological hazard. So I learned 65% of it
This class was very helpful in preparing me to open up my business. I would recommend it to anyone who is planning on opening up a business in food or bev. They modules are easy to follow and the course makes it easy to leave and pick up where you left off if you are are busy person!
Very informative

I enjoyed this course, Being able to watch and study at my own pace has been beneficial.
good
Straightforward. Tells you everything you need to know. I wish the loading between modules was faster. It took about 1.5 hours. Exam is 40 questions and not difficult.
It was good and very helpful
I had a great experience. The quality was better than i expected, and everything went good from start to finish
I like the fact that I could work at my own pace. I have been very preoccupied with life that I could not finish my modules. However, I was able to log on when peace came into my existence. I was able to pass my class because I did it when I was ready. Thank You This is just the beginning.
Learned alot that I thought I already knew
Course was easy to follow and clear in instruction.
i learned alot
It wasn’t even 10 dollars, so it was pretty easy to afford, and it took me about an hour and a half to finish.
Problems with hovering using cell phone. Sometimes it would make me start over when I already completed it. It took about 3 hours to get through it
It was okay, didn’t expect that to happen.
I’d love to cook
