First Time Taking Exam, Pretty Good from my limited experience

September 14, 2025

Took right about an hour and a half, like it said it would. The videos did have an automated voice, which was okay. The animations were decent, so it wasn’t awful sitting through it. Gave a good overview of food handling safety.

Simple to understand and to the point

May 9, 2025

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.

May 7, 2025

This training was very informative and easy to follow. It was great that you could go at your own pace, especially in my case where I needed to break it up into different times do to my busy schedule. I liked that I could go back to certain points of the video if needed and I could rewatch all together if there were any points I felt like I didn’t fully comprehend while watching. I also appreciate that captions were available! I have a difficult time hearing, so that is a very useful tool for someone like me!
