Simple and to the Point

February 12, 2025

I’ve never taken a food handlers course ever but for my first time it was fairly simple to follow the prompts. The information is clear and concise however, there is a lot of information that is provided and notes are a must. The only downfall is not being able to go back in increments of 10 seconds especially when there is a valuable bit of of information that you want to write down for your notes. If you miss it or aren’t pausing it every 5-10 seconds with subtitles, you will have to watch the video all over again. Overall, GREAT COURSE!

More Knowledgeable

September 19, 2025

This course was very insightful and refreshing. I feel that I now have a clearer understanding of how important food safety in kitchen spaces. From learning how to properly wash hands, handle raw and ready to eat foods, and the importance of keeping foods out of the danger zone. The lessons that especially peaked my interest were cleaning and sanitation and preventing cross contamination. This is very important and everyone show be taught this lesson. I feel that I am more confident and prepared in my ability to ensure appropriate business practices while also protecting the health of my customers.
