Seems to be a drawn out version of the standard food worker test, with just more reiteration of the same policies and expectations set forth in the $15 base certification.

January 17, 2023

In my personal opinion I had no problem with the information as it was readily presented, my issue was with several videos presented there was no option to turn on closed captioning of the narration which I found irritating taking the test at work with ambient noise in the bathroom. also not bolding keywords for a negative question did trip me up. If that how the questions are presented during the real exam, I myself will be more careful.

Trying to make training as painless as possible

May 26, 2025

Overall great training within this archaic structure. Graphics, audio and visual learning, and some questions before the exam I thought helped highlight the key pieces and support my understanding of the content.

I wish the interface was a bit more user-friendly (multiple times I had to restart a module when I tried to advance to the next). I wish the Closed Captions setting would remain the same throughout all modules, instead of resetting every module. It was also annoying that the “Module Complete” notification popped up in front of the “Next Module” button. It meant for every module I needed to click the “X” on the pop up before advancing – super annoying with the number of modules.
