gets the job done

August 18, 2025

if you need to take a food handler course, you can’t get out of doing this training. this is not a bad way to get it done. the animations are hokey and they could do a better job with the transitions between “modules” – some of the modules are literally 10 seconds. i wish we didn’t have to click so much. overall, it met my needs and it was fine.
