Getting through my Mandatory Food Handler Training

August 21, 2025

I found the training challenging due to the in-depth material to study and also having a “window” of 72 hours to complete it by. I completed the training in 37.5 hours from start to finish (taking the exam). This training course was very nicely structured and presented.
