I have used another well-known platform to stay current for my business, for many years and I will never use them again-This site is easy to use, women owned and saves time. No in person class time for very busy people!
Very helpful with the basics went through everything that I needed to know for the exam
It was a little complicated.
This was quick and easy
I am required to obtain a food handling certificate for a roadside farm stand and within 2 hours of knowing I needed this, I was able to complete the course with full understanding on how to keep my area, food, and other people safe, healthy and clean!
learned alot
Great and easy
Course is informational and teaches all the basics of everything you need to know, but very very boring, uses an AI voice, and sometimes glitches out and doesn’t let you continue.

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.
Redundant at times. Website is glitchy. Overall good information.
Nice
The course was very well explained and in simple terms. It was clear on what you needed to remember for the final exam.
