Got the info I needed

May 28, 2025

Info presented well. although it was an AI voice doing the presenting which was apparent in how things were presented.

Maz

clearly presented, and not too annoying!

May 28, 2025

This course is totally fine. It would be hard to make a course like this more than just “fine,” but I’ve never been through one of these trainings that was better than this, and have certainly been through trainings that were worse! The information is presented clearly and I feel well prepared for the exam, and it wasn’t too annoying 🙂 I very much appreciate that AAA food handler is woman and minority owned, instead of donating money to political causes I deeply oppose, as most of the places that offer these certifications do. Thanks for offering an alternative, AAA!
