I’m using this course to be certified for a food booth I’m starting soon. I really enjoyed how clear and easy to understand the videos were and I liked being able to test my knowledge at the end of each session. I feel I have some valuable information to pass on to anyone I work with and a basic understanding of how to share it too.

Thanks.
