I learned much more than I thought I would with this course.
I was pleased with the time of each video which made it easy to follow along with. It was understandable and informative. Ready to get involved in our future food service endeavors.
The course is presented with informational videos and helpful questions to guide the process of learning. I found it easy to engage with and you can get many chances to answer the questions correctly. This is my second time reviewing the course as I have forgotten to take the test 2 years ago previously. The price point is still relatively affordable and similar to my last experience with it.
I recommend this course to anyone looking to secure a food manager’s license.
