Great information and good speed of delivery – not too slow. I could pause when I needed to and rewatch what I needed as well. This worked great for me!
I loved finding out that it was woman owened and minority owned. My bosses suggested a different service and I decided not to use it because yours was cheaper! I love supporting women and minority companies. This course had great representation and prepared me a lot.
Very informative.
Very good

This training course was really thorough and up to date. Very clear to understand and all necessary ground was covered. I highly recommend the AAA Food Handler program.
THis course covers all the essential information and does so in an effective manner. Perfect refresher course or great to use to understand the guidelines in food safety. A few design things need fixed in the course but most of it is very good.
Some are out of order but all in all a great course
This course is very interactive and provides a lot of detail. The presentation with proper images is a great tool for visual learners.
Little things may need corrected, mainly just wording things like using next section instead of next module. Things will look more professional if everything matches. Also, avoid asking review questions before the topic is actually covered. I found on multiple review questions, it was a topic not covered yet only to immediately be covered in the next module.
Great an easy course to follow and take notes. Closed captions are super helpful and important!
Thought the review course was easy to understand and to the point. I would have appreciated more examples and emphasis on the biological contaminants section of the review with more tips on how to remember the names of the pathogens.
