Food Manager Training Course Review - 11/11/2025

November 11, 2025

Good course, well laid-out. It would be really nice to have an option to print the slides as a PDF for reference material to study with, or an equivalent accompanying material. I have worked in food service for many years and am aware of the information in the course, but it is always nice to have something to review or use as tools for training employees. Some of the controls for the modules might need a little bit of attention–they are fully functional as is, but it might be nice to be able to rewind the videos before having watched the whole thing for people like me who tend to take extensive notes, regardless of how previous knowledge.

Love the Course

November 10, 2025

As someone who doesn’t test well, this program was the best option for me. The mini-lesson tests were incredibly helpful—they broke the material down into smaller, more manageable pieces and allowed me to learn at my own pace. I felt more confident and less overwhelmed, which made a big difference in my overall experience.

This course was super helpful and easy to follow. It covered everything from food safety and sanitation to team management and proper storage. I liked how practical it was — everything I learned applies directly to real restaurant work. The lessons were clear, and the quizzes made it easy to remember the important parts. Overall, it gave me a lot more confidence in handling food safely and managing operations the right way.
