The Class was very Informative. I just wish I would have gotten the results of the test rather then just that I passed so I would know where I went wrong if I went wrong anywhere.
Good information to know
The modules are very helpful. I learned a lot about food handling.

First I appreciate the statement that this was created by a woman and minority owned entity! A lot of information with lots of details.
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.
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!
would like to have heard a more even voice sound was up and down
Lots of learning to do and different things I didn’t know
Informative, and easy to use.
The training was very well done in my opinion and easy to follow.
Very good course.
don’t want to do survey
Very informative and easy course to follow!! I recommend this course to anyone who’s looking to start their business.
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.
Passing this test
Very informative and descriptive. Gives me a great understanding of how a restaurant/ food prep needs to be.

Long but easy

I feel this covers more in details of the requirements and laws of being an alcohol server. Definitely one of the better courses I have taken.
Good
Great and easy
Everyone should know this info.
Very easy and informative
It was complete and comperhensive. Not super exicting but did what was supposed to (teach me what I needed for the test).
I noticed that some of the questions asked in a module did not have the information given in that module, but in a later module instead. Course said 1 hour and 30 mins , but is significantly longer.
it was long
this course was super informative and so easy to learn. I really enjoyed the modules.
Dumb you should be honest about the length of the video for people with abusive partners
That’s all I’m gonna say
Good course to take
Very long but informative

Good course
the training program was informative and insightful and will definitely help manage the establishment safe.
I loved using it. It is all female owned. All women ran and it is absolutely amazing. Explains things clear gets to the point helps you get your certificate. There’s other things you can learn on here are utilize this website lol I recommended everybody I used to go through serve safe, but now I will always be going through them 10 out of 10.
This course was interactive and easy to understand. It was very informative and makes me feel safe and excited for my new adventure. The health of my future customers is important to me and this course has set me on the right path.
The videos were easy and locking the modules makes sure you watch the videos. I just wish there was an option to speed or slow down the videos because I felt they were a tad slow. Overall, would use this again for renewing my food handlers card.
Training was easy to follow, I liked the pictures, how it was laid out and the summaries at the end of the modules.
It was an informative course and helped me learn a lot.
