To The Point

September 4, 2025

Was it boring? Yeah. But was it to the point? Also yes. This training didn’t drag on and gave clear information on how to handle food in a safe way. I took a star away because some of the questions in the exam were so badly worded I had to decode what they meant. It was only a couple questions but annoying enough to be an issue.

It was very easy to navigate and I look forward to taking the practice tests with enough success to be able to take the real one shortly.
