Make sure you watch all the videos. Take notes on a note book. The test was very easy.
Everything in the test was covered during the training modules.
The training was very informative and very through I found the pop up quizzes to be helpful for the final exam. Not very hard to complete and most of the questions was self explanatory.
I had a great learning experience
Great course
simple and straight to the point
Easy to understand and quick to complete!
There was a lot of good information.
This course is convenient, efficient, and provides all the necessary information.
staff was very helpful and knowledgeable
I took this to help with finding jobs, but at the end, I came out of it with knowledge I should have known for a long time, and because of this, I now know the necessary precautions, advice, and other things to help me at home, and at work.
I thoroughly enjoyed the AAA Food Handler course. To my surprise, I learned very important safety protocols and steps in handling food in any food setting. This course should be taught as earliest as a kid to adults at their level of understanding to educate, prevent & safely handle food. Safety should be a priority at any age when handling food.
Very easy to complete and understand.
good

I found this training to cover all the bases. Though the volume levels were just bare minimum, I could hear most everything ok.
This course was thorough, and easy to follow. Although this is a 5 year renewal for me I still learned a lot. I liked the fact that the course was bundled and at a very reasonable price.
Thank you AAA
This was an informative and helpful. Easy to follow.
I enjoyed this course & all the material was easy to understand.
Very easy to access and understand. The visual aids as well as the commentary were extremely beneficial and I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who needs to complete their training
Easy to navigate
I TRULY LEARNED A LOT
I went over some modules a couple of times to absorb all the information in them. The only problem I had was with the actual test taking. I took the test through ServSafe and some topics were different so I was not able to give correct answers to some questions. They went more in depth on when food should be reheated or thrown out or how long to keep something even though it was stored at 41 or below and with choice of 5-7 days. Only one question on the ALERT System and I had memorized much of that. There were very few questions on the 9 different bacteria. Also, many questions about food deliveries, floor composition, etc. I passed the test but had to work to figure out answers that would be correct. I would have preferred to have a comprehensive practice test at the end in addition to the short quizzes at the end of each module. The module directory was good to have to review an item or 2.
I must say it was an incredibly smooth and rewarding experience. The course was quick, making it perfect for those with a busy schedule but still eager to learn. It was easy to navigate, and I never felt lost or overwhelmed at any point.
The content was clear and straightforward, allowing me to grasp the concepts quickly and confidently. The structure of the course made it simple to follow, with practical examples that helped reinforce the lessons.
Overall, I highly recommend the Food Handlers course to anyone looking to expand their knowledge in a fast, efficient, and user-friendly way!
Good material in general, a single summary slide for each module wold be very helpful.
This was a great training
This course was great for me because I work and go to school and this worked with my busy schedule. I liked that I could go at my own pace.
The course is interesting and colorful.I like it.
This course was well structured and easy to move through quickly!
Good
It was very informative, lots of topics but the videos are quick

Muy bueno
Easy to follow and very informative
I learned alot
Training was cool I like the way it set up simple easy to navigate and very easy to understand
There was good information, but the experience was not great. Here are some things I really did not like: the robot narrator was very annoying; the timing was often off between the audio and video; I could not go back to certain points in the video without replaying the entire video; the section on variances was not covered well; but then there are several points that get repeated many times. Repetition is good for learning, but these videos can be rewatched as many times as needed. Some of us don’t need that much repetition, and it just makes for an unnecessarily longer video.
This course is a quick, easy, and highly informative course. Would recommend.
Very straightforward and easy to navigate. Able to take notes and pause & stop when I wanted to.
would be better if it was shorter
me parece muy bien toda la informacion que nos da este curso para dar un buen servicio y evitar cualquier enfermedad. Es muy importante saber todo acerca de la manipulacion de la comida
Simple, user friendly and informational.
