Most of it is common sense and taking over 3 hours to ‘learn” that is just a waste
very intresting
Thanks for teaching me how to handle food properly.
This was a very good course and informative i learned quickly by all the pictures they showed to help me picture it in my head and remember it.
The information was clear and easy to understand.
Fabulous affirmative
I found this course to be very informative, which sharpened things I did naturally and things I need to do in becoming a food handler.
Very good training

only problem I had was going to the next video a lot of the times.
Thanks for making this as painless as possible. Also loved supporting a women and minority owned business! I didn’t realize that until the end! Awesome!
This is essential for everyone working in any area where food is prepared and served. Highly recommended.

Very concise, too much knowledge, good flow of topics and information.
The AAA course does a good job of breaking down all parts of the food safety considerations one must know to keep customers and employees safe in the execution of their food handling duties.
The training modules were easy to follow and did a nice job explaining all of the responsibilities of a food manager. This is updated to reflect the day and age we live in.

its good
This course is perfect . I learned a lot and highly recommend this course
Neatly organized and informative
good training…took longer than expected
Simple and quick process
This course really gave me more confidence with my knowledge and helped me to gain a better understanding with topics that are a bit tricky.
I’d recommend this training course to any one wanting the certificate. The price is certainly right!
This course was easy to moderate as far as content and delivery. I’m glad I took this class also because it was very affordable.
Ok
Days required to complete certificate after starting employment? Saw the question, but missed the info. Maybe add more of a focus.
Good
I think this course did a great job in making clear what a responsible alcohol server needs to know in order to do their job properly and within the law. It has up to date information and tests to insure that new information is properly retained.

Wasn’t to bad
Just what you need
its a good course, interactive, its not boring and you learn a lot
This was interesting to me because it is such a critical issue.
easy to go through at home
Gonna be honest: I have a 26K note-count based on everything I’ve read and studied in the Food Handler guide, and it’ll still be saved after after all that. It’s very thorough and easy to understand. I don’t think I had a problem doing any of these, really. I’m fairly confident that I’ve got very close to 100%, if not outright.
Yeah, it was mandatory, but it was far from awful. Just took up my day at most.
I found the modules to be quick, informative, and easy to understand.
It was an interesting experience, very informative though hectic
Got me my Food Handlers license when the other one I tried didn’t work and was cheap
I liked that there were interactive activities and some sample questions in between the modules.
Very informative but so many videos to watch. It would be helpful to know how much progress has been done on the page until exam.
I really just didn’t like the “local health inspector” probably because of the robot voice and trying to make it sound like a person with the script. Understand the appeal but not a fan.
Also, too many of the videos were five seconds long and a few of them could certainly be condensed/stitched together
