Straightforward and Informative

May 28, 2025

I really liked how straightforward and informative the food handler training was. It didn’t drag on or overwhelm with too much info — everything was clear and to the point. I finished it feeling confident about the safety guidelines and what’s expected in a food service environment. It was a smooth and easy process, and I’d definitely recommend it to others needing their certification.
