This is my first experience to complete successfully, the Food Handler certification. It was amazing to learn to prep, serve and store the food. I was doing theses activities at my home kitchen, so during the training I was learning with the intension to apply it in my kitchen in addition to the business. I will recommend this training to all adults working at home or the business kitchen.
