Found this product to be easy to use, navigate and effective.
there were some typos in the exam itself; one or two questions seemed to have more than one correct answer or were open-ended. Overall the guide was informative and really well made modules
Great knowledge and recommend
This course is very informative and easy to learn.
The modules very informative and clear. It was also easy to understand. The graphics and illustrations were a great addition to the modules.
I was falling asleep watching the videos lollll but I still got it. 💯 also I don’t know if it’s on my end only, but some of the videos did not have audio..
This has been one of the best food handler course I’ve ever taken. It took me initially 2 to 3 hours however it was very informative.

I can never stress enough how important it is to wash your hands! that handwashing and hygiene modules were my favorite. they were lite hearted but still down to business. good job ladies!
The course was straightforward and easy to follow. It was laid out in a way that kept you engaged. Great visual graphics were perfect for my learning style. Thanks!
Super informative. Extremely simple. Which helps makes the process fun and easy to listen to thank you.
IT WAS A REALLY DETAILED SESSIONS
Not as long as expected and interesting. Straight to the points.
.Excellent curriculum
Info presented well. although it was an AI voice doing the presenting which was apparent in how things were presented.
This course is totally fine. It would be hard to make a course like this more than just “fine,” but I’ve never been through one of these trainings that was better than this, and have certainly been through trainings that were worse! The information is presented clearly and I feel well prepared for the exam, and it wasn’t too annoying 🙂 I very much appreciate that AAA food handler is woman and minority owned, instead of donating money to political causes I deeply oppose, as most of the places that offer these certifications do. Thanks for offering an alternative, AAA!
Maria was wonderful with her explanations.
