Informative
Taking this course is very easy to understand .Taking few notes especially about temperatures will be a big help.You can watch it on your own pace and can go back if you miss something.No need to rush answering the 40 questions but not to long to freeze it.For almost an hour and more and reasonable price to take this course I highly recommended AAA Food Handler.
