Overview

June 30, 2025

First I appreciate the statement that this was created by a woman and minority owned entity! A lot of information with lots of details.

Abbie T.

Not Mobile Friendly

June 30, 2025

The course itself is fine—however, it is not very friendly on mobile formats. The audio sometimes cuts out and you have to restart from the beginning. The “optional” tests are not optional, you do have to complete them before being allowed to schedule your exam. I would have completed these anyway but it was a little annoying to be forced to do them when they’re labeled as optional.

Ashley

Straightforward and easy to understand

The course was clear , simple to follow and covered exactly what I needed to feel prepared for my Food Manager test. I liked the step by step breakdowns and practical examples.

Good refresher for real kitchen work too!

Good Online Training

June 28, 2025

Love the convenience of completing the training at my own pace. Some of the quiz questions along the way (checking for understanding as you complete each unit of learning) were not 100% aligned to the content in that unit, but easy to figure out.
