Was easy to understand
The modules were very informative and gave a lot of insight although the voice for the modules would be better if it was voiced fully

Took right about an hour and a half, like it said it would. The videos did have an automated voice, which was okay. The animations were decent, so it wasn’t awful sitting through it. Gave a good overview of food handling safety.
well-organized

This course was relatively quick. Everything presented was done so in a simple, easy to understand way and was also quick and to the point. I took notes, but I feel that the review questions along the way were helpful and I probably didn’t need the extra notes I have.
I enjoyed the course, I enjoyed the pace, the visuals, the explanations etc!
It was a very long course but it helped me a lot to prepare for the exam.

I have learned so much about the proper way to handle food
Very well explained and expressed
and easy to understand to put into practice
This training was very informative and easy to follow. It was great that you could go at your own pace, especially in my case where I needed to break it up into different times do to my busy schedule. I liked that I could go back to certain points of the video if needed and I could rewatch all together if there were any points I felt like I didn’t fully comprehend while watching. I also appreciate that captions were available! I have a difficult time hearing, so that is a very useful tool for someone like me!
It was long but they had parts that I found helpful and it was good it was just super long that’s all
Thorough 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.
This training is very informative
Just pay attentions, listen and its best to do it in a quiet area where there is no distraction.
User friendly. Direct and hits everything you need to know.
Easy and fast’ thank you!

Very helpful in learning or refreshing already learned lessons
I’ve worked in the food business plenty of time and so I believe that this was a good little test to give for anyone that is interested in working in a kitchen.
