This course for Food Handlers was very informative and the material was presented well. It made good use of graphics and went at a pace that was not too fast.
I like the modules and the exam. It was straightforward and knowledgeable.
The website was easy to use. I was able to complete all the modules and the test within a couple of hours. I would recommend for anyone needing to get their food handler’s certificate.
IT was good.
🙂
Rally great course it was easy to follow and made the material much easier to understand
This food handler course was a fantastic experience. The content was clear, well-structured, and easy to follow. I learned a lot about food safety, and the information provided was practical and directly applicable to my work. I highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to get certified. It was a great use of my time, and I feel much more confident in my food handling skills now.
Great class but don’t know my score just that I passed. Also, at this point do not know if I receive a card or certificate or anything.
The course was very easy to follow and gave a lot of good information
I passed
very informative and I really enjoyed learning through this course.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed reviewing all of your amazing material again.
Very good training. The information was informative and to the point!!
Fácil y rápido desde la comodidad de mi casa.
Too many times, it would not allow me to progress even though I completed and would not move forward
Thank you for the useful information. I enjoyed the guide. The exam was straightforward. The whole process was pleasant.

The content is thorough and easy to learn
Great information
The course was very interesting! the modules were very informative.
Well explained and very comprehensive, definitely would recommend for anyone new or well experienced.
would take again
I think the way the videos are made and how the information is presented at this curse makes it very easy for you to catch everything very easily. Thank you!
This course does take time, but it is also the most comprehensive on line course I have taken.
Recommend taking this course over a period of a few weeks to make the most of the information.
is a great course. I learned enough to run my business, and it was a good experience
painless
Found the course to be informative and easy to use.
great course, highly recommend
This was a pretty good course, learned new things and reviewed the basics. I think it’s important all food serving places hold a food manager license because of protocols that could be forgotten and a reminder doesn’t hurt anyone. One thing though, if the website developers could make it where we can move back and forward on each slide that would be very helpful. Besides that I find that the course is neatly put together and the review after every topic is good.
good class
Even though all these information is very dense, the way videos are made in sections and interactions are a better way to study. Hopefully I would only need one take on the exam.
Everything is really well-structured information is very clear and easy to understand I would definetly recommend this to all of my friends.

While the finishing page is true, “Mandatory training is never fun,” I was actually pleasantly surprised at the quality of this course. I had been through something similar for my food handler’s license, but I recall that course being really awful (lots of mock conversations between a new employee and her new manager in the style of “Dick and Jane”: see Spot run! Run Spot, run!), but this RBS Alcohol training was both informative and concise! I learned quite a lot about the more technical aspects of the laws surrounding alcohol service, as well as good recommendations to improve my future interactions with customers. Five stars!
Confusing , slow, kept Disappearing from my screen- often froze so I had to keep going back to listen multiple times praying that it would advance to the next section. Not straight forward or clear at all. I will go out of my way to tell other servers NOT to use your training course. I would give no stars if I could. You should refund my money for this miserable experience

Fabulous affirmative
I found this course to be very informative, which sharpened things I did naturally and things I need to do in becoming a food handler.
Very good training
easy and doable
only problem I had was going to the next video a lot of the times.
Thanks for making this as painless as possible. Also loved supporting a women and minority owned business! I didn’t realize that until the end! Awesome!
This is essential for everyone working in any area where food is prepared and served. Highly recommended.
Really informational and easy to follow
Found this course to be informative and painless, best I’ve used yet. I give it 5 Stars!!
I have taken this course the traditional way with text books and paper over the past twenty years. I learn best when course information is presented by visual and auditory means. The course also allows yoiu to redo both modules and review questions for each unit. I was totally impressed with how the course was set up. With no reservations, I highly recommend take this Food Manager course.
I feel like it covered everything about allergen info.
Its more interesting than boring. And plenty of useful information for your business and home
Very convenient and thorough!
As to mentioned above training is never fun…but with that said you made a course that could be unbearably boring and made it interesting and fairly easy to follow and remember. Thank you.
