This Food Handler Card course was very clear and straight to the point. The lessons cover everything you need to know about food safety, handwashing, temperature control, and preventing contamination. The videos and a little practice test prepared me for the test, and I passed without any trouble. I highly recommend this course for anyone who needs their food handler card. quick, informative, and user-friendly.

Excellent course with thorough explanations. Breaking up the topics with questions helped it feel more interactive.
This is rich material
The training flowed and was easy to follow. Wish there was a 2x speed option for people who have been food safe certified before, but it’s been a while so that we can review more quickly.

I like it it’s an easy and most detailed information
A food manager plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of a food establishment. To stay aware of what is happening, they must be actively engaged, observant, and organized. One of the most effective strategies is simply being present. Walking the floor, observing food preparation, and monitoring customer service gives the manager a firsthand view of daily operations. This visibility helps identify problems early, such as safety violations, poor hygiene, or inefficiencies in the kitchen.

Very easy to study and very easy to review and very easy to do the training and the test helps me a lot
You learn how to check ID’s and how to protect yourself by following the law. It also goes in depth of what to watch out for when serving people to prevent alcohol poisoning or drunk driving.
