I like that it wasn't as boring as other food handler courses.

July 7, 2025

It was a great course, very thorough and informative while also being arranged simply and clearly. It also included some interactive modules, which I think is nice. I didn’t like the AI voice but that’s just my opinion as I don’t like AI voices in general; It isn’t such a big deal though since the the script was great and made the AI voice seem less emotionless & robotic.
