Genial el contenido util y profesional
Very informative and easy to understand. Most modules were short and easy to restart if needed!
it was interesting educational experience.
Gave the basic concepts without over doing it so that an individual can obtain the credential required by the state. I am a Registered Nurse so I was familiar with many of the concepts.
Very informative course, pictures make everything easier to comprehend. Small quizzes at the end of each section make this exam less stressful.

This is a beneficial and easy way to get your food handlers. Also you learn a lot about safety with food in restraunts.
This took way too long and the mobile version was not helpful. It had way too many issues with sound.
I did find the test to be simple and to the point questions. This was helpful as it was hard to take notes to study from the videos since you could not pause and rewind to repeat was said. That was the only downfall of this course, was not being able to take notes well
Very informational!
Awesome food handling course
good information
this course is very informative
Very imformative and got educated
Informative and enjoyable. Very interactive with videos and questions to review what you have learned along the way.
Only thing I wish was different — after each page, the “module completed successfully” popup blocks the next module button. You have to click the X too dismiss (or wait a while) before proceeding to the next module. If you could just scoot that over just a little bit…
Great experience
Overall the course was not bad. I wish it had a few more interactive aspects to it so it was not as much sitting and listening.
Great and easy to understand and use, cheap too.
very detailed
This was a decent quiz as long as u pay attention to the details and videos
easy access
Very informative!
