This course for Food Handlers was very informative and the material was presented well. It made good use of graphics and went at a pace that was not too fast.
I like the modules and the exam. It was straightforward and knowledgeable.
The website was easy to use. I was able to complete all the modules and the test within a couple of hours. I would recommend for anyone needing to get their food handler’s certificate.

It was a great use of my time, and I feel much more confident in my food handling skills now.
