Enjoyable and informative

January 21, 2025

The training was clear, precise, enjoyable, and informative. I was able to learn new things about food management and foodborne illnesses. Also, the importance of having the newly obtained knowledge to combat and prevent outbreaks. The AAA Handler food manager course offered great insight on basic operating procedures and protocols while raising awareness on the organizations that govern the food industry.

The names of bacterias, viruses and parasites jumble together easily for me which causes a lot of confusion- this area should be less listing of facts and should have something that helps each one stand out on it’s own in our brains to make them easier to remember.

Good online training class

January 18, 2025

It was easy to follow, only thing is some of the sections that come across don’t show a blue dot at the end for you to be able to go back to a specific section, and that means you have to watch the whole section again. This is not for everything, but for some things.

Robotic, but informative

September 15, 2025

This was a fine course and gave me the information I needed to pass the exam. However, there were quite a few typos throughout and the voice was clearly AI and robotic. It wasn’t very engaging and I wish there had been more “practice questions” after each section.

Practical Information

September 15, 2025

This information should be shared with everyone. It will help keep people safe at home and in restaurants. Anyone eating or cooking should follow these procedures.

John W.

Could have been better

September 15, 2025

First of all, I can’t stand the automated voice. with thousands of people paying almost 10 dollars per card, you can pay a voice actor to do your course. Do not participate in the choking out of talented jobs.

Secondly, what’s with the spelling and grammar errors? I regret supporting this course but unfortunately I already have so you can keep my money.
