The class was helpful. The computerized voice was not super pleasant but it got the job done I suppose.. It is very bad practice to demand a review prior to taking the test. I might have given it 5 stars but as I am only 1/2 complete, I could not offer a true opinion.
The course was quite informative & very thorough throughout.
The training covers the entire process, functions & duties of a food manager/food establishment owner.
It’s well known, Food can easily & seriously harm people & worse!…
I love how this course is very focused on reminding the student of that fact!..
Repeatedly brining focus back to the seriousness of not properly controlling foods.
I’ve already paid for the Allergens course also,
It’s not required for my area but I like the extra added safety of being informed.
My wife and daughter will be taking the food handler course also as they will be helping in our food business.
I 100% recommend this course for all your needs in food & safety training….
Customer service is a huge aspect these days with outsourcing jobs..
I have nothing but positive comments for the agents who I did speak with for general questions pertaining to the courses I trained in….
Overall my full experience was,

I understand laws and info can be boring but there are ways to present in an interesting way. This was really difficult to get through, it was dry and boring. I usually don’t have any issues with stuff like this.

Upon completing this food handling course I have increased my knowledge of how to properly handle food to avoid contamination, and adhere to strict guidelines in an effort to minimize pathogens, and cross contamination. I would recommend this class to anyone who eats or cooks.
Easy to understand and follow.
So thankful
loved it
.
The course mentions MSG as a negative in food. The crusade against MSG over the last few decades has been proven to be a racially fueled campaign to drive Chinese and other Asian owned restaurants out of business. To not remove and alter that information and acknowledge this only serves to perpetuate a racist anti Asian Rhetoric. I hope you will recognize that continuing to say and spread this misinformation is harmful.
very informative
I learned a lot, thanks
Very informative
Website was laggy. Videos took long to start
