This is the first time I have taken an online ServeSafe Manager review and exam; as a live, instructor led course was previously mandatory in CA. I very much liked the self-paced aspect of this course. I could go back and review areas of importance, I could take snapshots of good practice slides, and the information was really well presented.
Some tests in the study reviews have questions about course material that hasn’t been reviewed yet. Otherwise great!
Knowledgeable course.

Straight to the point.
Good over all
I wasn’t able to do it on the phone which was a problem but overall it served its purpose on educating me on food handling safety and i did learn about all sort of ways to prevent food born illness and how to properly store foods
I was able to go through the learning modules quickly while pausing due to external factors. The information presented was clear and absent any unnecesary fill ins. All of the information is applicable to both the exam and day to day workplace use.
Excellent
Really good information
I liked the course!
Good course!
Easy to navigate
Info was well presented but the slow speed, no skipping, was rough. If I could play it at 1.5 speed, that would be better.
Very good course, easy and informative!

Reallt straightforward and engaging training modules about food safety!
Concise, easy to digest information that made the test a breeze.
