A concise and informative alternative to many other courses

June 12, 2025

I have completed multiple versions of a Food Manager certification course, and this one was the quickest and most efficient one so far. I was relieved to see no annoying, useless characters or cheesy videos to demonstrate common sense ideas, or deal with clunky, unedited language or bad UI that often results in unnecessary missed questions on quizzes or tests. This course was straight forward, easy to listen to, provided accurate captions, moved at a decent pace, and included relevant, real-world information about food safety and its application at work. My only complaint is that occasionally, the videos would not load until clicking the screen multiple times to “jog” it to load. I also wish I could review each lesson as a whole, without restarting a module, once it was initially completed– some sections had to be completely restarted because of how the section was formatted (for instance, if it had a pop quiz in the middle of the module). The section reviews stayed on topic and were relevant to the course material, and the course as a whole followed a logical pattern that built on each previous concept and didn’t jump around between topics too much. All in all, a great course to get the job done and walk away feeling informed. Thank you!
