I thought the exam was easy because I work in the kitchen so I know all the dos and donts.
Great course
This was easy and quick to do, alot of these should be common sense, just take notes and write down any numbers you hear in the modules. great site.

great training
Going in, I was not expecting much from this course. The voice over seemed to be computer generated, and the course presentation was extremely sanitized and uninteresting. However, despite covering many topics I already knew, there was still a good amount of content I had no prior knowledge of beforehand, and I ended up learning a fair bit. If your student can get through the dry first impression this course gives off, and has the patience to trudge through some common knowledge early on, I believe they can learn a lot, and become more effective at preparing food safely.
I love the simple explanation, clean layout and visual learning of the course. Very easy for my employees to understand as well.
very well laid out and designed. covered all major points and learned what information I needed from it.

This class was easy to get through and I like the interactive videos.
It was an awesome course & very good explained
Very useful information but takes to long.
I learned many things that I did not know. Only suggestion, is that I would have liked to have had the ability to review certain items without having to re-listen to the entire module. Else really appreciate the education which I will incorporate into personal use.

The course does make sense for food handlers.
Great class a lot of knowledge gained to help me better understand my role as a food manager
Easy process
I believe we should take this course a least every 3 months for information purpose and maintain mangers updated
I like that you can take a break and come back. Not sure how long you can stay away, just a rest room and soda break. It’s lengthy but step away a bit it’s not bad. the test is easy. A lot is common sense.
I already took before the course but wanted to refresh everything and is super helpful and easy to learn. Really recommended to everyone.
