Got what I needed.
Easy to follow. Good info. Inexpensive.
I could not view if I got any questions wrong or if I got them all correct. Some may not care to know, but I would like to know that! That would be only thing I would change about this site ..
easy to do online
The only thing I wish for is a speed option, as the pacing is kinda slow.

Great course!
very informative and engaging
This training session was well informative and easy to understand. It had great visuals and it was well paced.
Even though all these information is very dense, the way videos are made in sections and interactions are a better way to study. Hopefully I would only need one take on the exam.
the course was precise and understandable. I found it comfortable to watch the videos and learn all the steps.
I enjoyed going through each module and learning specific things needed for each food and learning about the danger zone for temperature which was 41 F and 135 F. I also enjoyed learning about food allergies because I only known few of them. This helped me get a better understanding on how to handle foods and what temperatures to put them in.
Everything is really well-structured information is very clear and easy to understand I would definetly recommend this to all of my friends.
Very informative, glad to be certified.
This course was relatively quick. Everything presented was done so in a simple, easy to understand way and was also quick and to the point. I took notes, but I feel that the review questions along the way were helpful and I probably didn’t need the extra notes I have.
It was good
I actually learned a few things that I didn’t know already.
I enjoyed the course, I enjoyed the pace, the visuals, the explanations etc!
I learn a lot
The course was very comprehensive.
