Food Manager Reviews
4.9
Course was good.
Was simple and super easy to follow. Great presentation.
The course is easy to follow and has good visuals. Some glitches where it goes really slow/seems frozen, but that may have been a wifi thing.
informative, straight to the point and educational.
I wish it let me rewind a bit on the videos instead of making me restart the entire thing. Overall, the videos were very prompt and informational/informative. This course was very helpful in ensuring I’m ready to receive my Food Manager certification
Organized, clear and informative.
all of this is common sense i learned more using this and will be using their tips provided, im hoping to be a great role model!
I would give this a five star. The videos were interesting, and interactive. The bullet points fere thoroughly covered and repeated throughout the training to help retain the information.
Great, simple, and easy to use teaching took for AAA Food Handling.
great training I’ve learnt a lot.
easy to understand and follow along.
Was informative. There was a few things that I need to lookup from other sources to get clearer understanding. Other than that, it was good.
The course was a better deal than most. Ease of purchasing, reasonable pricing, plus package deal which includes free retest and practice tests… this makes it worth it. As for the content itself, it felt a little AI-generated and wooden. Very cut-and-dried… gets the job done, but if you are wanting a more in-depth personable experience, and have the time, I would recommend an in-person course taught by a human instructor.
