Easy to understand and love the visuals
I really liked the way they explained everything fast and strongly
Overall very clear and helpful training, and I would or hundred percent guarantee fit someone else to take this if needing a food handles card.
there was a alot to learn. liked the when it became interactive by clicking buttons on the screen to read.
Very informative
Very detailed program, a little excessive and long but good overall.
I was trained by a former employer. This training website was much more organized. I also liked that quizzes are given at the end of each module.
The content is very straight forward and put together inn a very learner friendly manner, the information is summarized at the end of each module. It contains very useful information and is suited to help you pass the exam so you can get your Food Handlers certification.
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.
Very thorough and comprehensive course.
This training was thoroughly clear and easily done. I appreciated the fact they had closed captions too and once again explained very well facts. It may be long but it’s honestly neat to learn them! The questions for the exam were well asked questions too!
