Great except a couple times I got interrupted and had to watch entire sections over again.
This is the 2nd time taking the exam. It packs a lot of information in an easy to follow along process. Final exam asked clear questions.
I failed my first exam but when I actually took the time the second time watching the videos and taking notes and study it became easier I passed the second time it was still long but I did it very easy to understand and just do things.

Great information

I’m using this course to be certified for a food booth I’m starting soon. I really enjoyed how clear and easy to understand the videos were and I liked being able to test my knowledge at the end of each session. I feel I have some valuable information to pass on to anyone I work with and a basic understanding of how to share it too.
Thanks.

Straightforward and easy to follow along
Learned a lot of things I never knew! Time to apply them all!
Thank you
Very in depth
Dinámico, entendible y eficiente.
The information was good, but the experience of taking the course was frustrating for several reasons: (1) You can not rewind!!!! If you miss something you have to watch the whole thing just to get that one tiny pc of info! Adds more time! (2) If you don’t click “next module” fast enough, it starts all over again, and you can’t go to the next module until current is complete, even though you already watched it. (3) If you click on “next module” too soon, it forces you to watch the whole thing all over again!!! (4) They speak too fast! Sometimes you miss what they say, and some of what they say is not on the screen.(5) The handbook/booklet is not available until the end of the course!
The training used a bot voice which is kind of boring but bearable.
It took way longer than it should have because it wouldn’t let me move to the next module after completing it and i was ready to crash out

It was a great course
The Food Handler (or Food Manager) course is a foundational training designed to ensure that anyone preparing, serving, or managing food operations understands how to prevent foodborne illness, maintain sanitation standards, and comply with government health regulations.
It aligns with the FDA Food Code and typically prepares learners for the ServSafe Manager Exam or equivalent certification exams approved by local health departments.
The presentation was well put together & easy to digest. I also appreciated the ability to turn on subtitles.
easy to use this course .
very important information to have
Good
It was short 48 videos
The course was interactive, easy to follow, highly educational, and informative.
Good
great speed, length, and not boring
Fairly informative and affective.
They give you a lot of information all at once and then you do the test but I think that’s a good way of seeing if the person was actually paying attention or not
Good
