Honestly this course was useful and very straight to the point.

I found this course very interesting because it covers all areas of health in an entertaining way, and above all, it explains the most important points in detail. As a nutritionist, it helped me greatly reinforce all the knowledge I acquired at university.

I recently took a Food Handling course, and it was an extremely enriching experience that I highly recommend, both for those who work in the food sector and for anyone interested in food safety.

The course covered fundamental topics such as personal hygiene, proper cleaning and disinfection of utensils and surfaces, temperature control, proper food storage, and the main microbiological hazards. I was surprised by the number of common mistakes we make without realizing it, which can put consumers’ health at risk.

What I liked most was the clear and practical way in which the content was explained, with real-life examples, dynamic activities, and case studies that helped me better understand the importance of following good practices from the moment the products are received to the moment they are served.

In short, this course not only gave me valuable tools to improve my daily practice, but also reinforced my commitment to the health of others, as a dietitian myself. I highly recommend it!
