Not much to say honestly. Just a heaping helping of videos with an AI voice on em, followed by an exam with questions that have strange wording and answers that don’t really seem to fit super well, or are presented in such a way that the correct answer is unclear. Despite that, if you take even the most basic of notes while going through the course, passing isn’t hard, so my official verdict is: it wasn’t great, but it was painless enough.
Informative and applicable learning presentation.

The course is great and informative and the exam touches bases with what you just learned. Not at all time consuming as well.
While most of the food handler course seemed common sense at first, I found myself learning new things.
All information was given very clearly and concisely.
A good Cource
