Video vs. written text

August 12, 2025

Videos were simple and easy to understand. They were short, sweet and to the point. However, I could have completed the course way faster with articles to read. The videos were still nice, and the entire course only took me an hour and 15 minutes to watch. The exam took me 10 minutes, so my overall experience was still less than 90 minutes.

Straightforward, User-Friendly Training Experience

August 11, 2025

This was my first time needing to complete a food handler training course and I was a bit worried about where to start. I found AAA Food Handler through my state’s health department list of approved training companies (first on the list), and was pleasantly surprised. I found their website extremely easy to navigate and the course was very affordable. The content and modules were organized in a very easy to learn, digestible manner to complete in one sitting without feeling overwhelmed or overloaded. I really appreciate that this company is also women-owned as well!
