Modules were easy to work through and follow. Liked the quizzes after each section.
Presentation was easy to understand and follow without being bored. Kept me engaged.
Very helpful and thorough
Slow from course to course. but overall great
Would use again, love the online option
Great information, I felt better equipped to run my business.
Details were great, info was great. I wish the speaking and slides were slower, it was hard to even pause in time to take notes, and if you miss it you have to start the whole module recording over to review the info. Better than being in a classroom though.

It was easy to get done. Test went well, butI would like to know my score.
good program
This page was extremely helpful in teaching me how to properly handle food. It explained important safety guidelines such as the temperature danger zone, proper cooking and reheating temperatures, safe thawing methods, and how to avoid cross-contamination. The information was presented in a clear and easy-to-understand way, with practical tips that I can use every day in the kitchen.
I especially appreciated how it emphasized the importance of using a food thermometer and keeping foods out of the danger zone. Whether you’re new to food handling or reviewing for a certification like ServSafe, this page is a great resource.
Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to handle food safely and prevent foodborne illness.
The training offers clear and precise information and explanation on the important issues when preparing food.
This diamond package was a great eye opener and a great way to understand what it means to be a food manager, and I want to thank the creators of the course and how it opened new doors of possibilities and made me a better manager.
Thank you.
I like that it was at my own pace.
This is a great course and very easy to use
It’s very easy to understand instructions and easy to learn
So slow and can’t skip. If you move to the next module it is locked until you complete the previous one. It starts over if you move from a current one without finishing.

Course was great. Improper grammar and wording.
