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….
