Rather Informative Training

September 28, 2025

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.

Worthwhile Course

July 5, 2025

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.

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.

Great - But needs Rewind Options

October 17, 2025

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.
