Thank you. Well done training program.
Loved the ability to pause the course and come back at any time. Only thing that would make it better would be the ability to rewind/fast forward through a slide so rewatching a slide isn’t necessary if something is missed.
Covered a lot of stuff without feeling like a punishment. Which is not easy with any kind of training.

Comprehensive but easy to follow and understand
It was incredibly hard to stay focused after the 1 hour mark and feel if I didn’t already do food handling training before, I would have struggled with the exam.
It was a good training that was easy to understand and comprehend.
I recently completed the AAA Food Handler Course, and it was an excellent experience! The course was well-organized and easy to follow, with clear explanations of food safety, hygiene, and handling practices. I especially appreciated the practical examples and visual aids, which made it easy to understand important concepts like TCS foods, temperature danger zones, and proper thawing methods.
The interactive quizzes helped reinforce the lessons, and I felt confident applying the knowledge in a real-world kitchen setting. Overall, the course was engaging, informative, and very user-friendly. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their food safety skills and meet certification requirements.
