Debra C.

Food Manager safety course

June 3, 2025

The video module setup of this course was extremely helpful and was structured in a way that allowed the topics to be broken down. Due to it being video based, it kept me engaged vs. having to sit and read 10 modules of information which could get redundant and can cause the user to lose focus. The other thing I felt was helpful were the mini quizzes to test your learning. That was helpful to make sure you’re understanding what’s being shown. The only thing I would change or explain in better detail are the cooking temperatures for the different types of meats. It felt that was swiftly explained and temperatures weren’t brought up any more after that module, so it’s difficult to remember the temps as they weren’t prioritized the best. Other than that, I would recommend this course to others as it’s information pact and presented in an engaging way.
