loved it. very helpful and at my own pace
It’s thanks to this food handler’s training course that I now know the proper ways to store, handle, prepare, cook, serve, and maintain the safest temperature for any given food item. Unfortunately, due to the robotic computerized voice and disingenuous health inspector avatar, it makes it difficult to stay properly immersed and focused on the training course without a living human presence.
This is the body of the review, telling people about my experiences.
Course was informative and helpful.
Excellent program
Excellent program
great course
Perfect course, easy to comprehend.
The site was user-friendly and easy to navigate.
Too many modules and many are too short. Some have one sentence. makes it boring and time consuming.
It was great! I learned a lot.
The videos are short and to the point.

This training was very to the point effective plain and simple. Very detailed learning experience.
The course was smooth. I like the periodic quizzes. I would’ve liked to have left my review after my practice test so I know how much the materials prepared me for the practice (I understand the limitations of prepping for the actual test). But it was easy to navigate, no tech problems, and gave me ideas for my shop that I plan on implementing.
Thorough, captivating, easy to move through program!
I really appreciated the thoroughness of this training. Also, it was very helpful having the review quizzes located all throughout the modules. I learned so many new things that I wasn’t aware of and will begin practicing immediately.
Good content and interactive experience. Thank you. AAA! 🙂
well done
I will give a complete review once i have completed my study exams and taken my exam. until then I have enjoyed the class this far and have learned a lot. we give full review once finished.

Great course and I learned so much!

Thorough and well done with the graphics
This training was very thorough. The Modules were very easy to follow and the review questions were a great follow up to each chapter. Look forward to apply the knowledge i have gained in this course.
This training was convenient and completed on my own time schedule. I appreciate that it was online.
Some of the information came and went a little too quickly on the slide show. I did need to pause and repeat a few of the screens to be sure I understood what it was telling me.

the complete course is easy to learn, it could be more knowledgeable if we can see the results overall in percentage, or wrong answers, or review the exams thank you
This course was easy to follow and had great information
This program was a necessary step for me in the progression towards owning a retail bakery business- and I am so happy I went with Triple A. This program was straight forward and made learning easy. I would highly encourage anyone looking to study for their food managers exam to look into it.
Very informative and easy to follow.
Thorough and easy to understand modules that are straight to the point
This was great but I want to recommend being able to rewind a video. When taking notes if someone misses something, they can’t just go back 10, 20, 30 seconds – they have to rewatch the whole video.
Good and informative
It was very easy to follow. Very detailed.
I liked the information they provided. It was helpful in ways of actually learning to utilize safe and proper practices in the food business.
Great test and alot of good information
5 stars. very informational. I learned a lot of new things that I did not know before.
