AAA Food Handler Review

May 10, 2025

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.

Less painful than expected!

August 17, 2022

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

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.
