Food Handler Reviews
4.9
This course was very effective, and presented information well. However, the User Interface present while completing modules is very frustrating to use. The ‘Module Complete’ popup appears directly over the ‘Next Module’ button and must be dismissed before you are able to proceed. Which slows down the process and is more annoying than any merit it might provide.
Additionally, you cannot use the arrow keys to move through modules, which is also frustrating.
Incredible and easy to go through the entire process. Mobile friendly and very informative

Very easy and simple process.IT WAS WELL STRUCTURED.
Simply put I like the way it flowed
Good information 10/10
The way they have some videos silent and some with sound was a bit off putting but I found that reading some of the words instead of hearing them may have helped them stick longer mentally , outside of that I learned a lot .
the information was really helpful, you always learn something new.
Maybe hire an actual person to do the voiceover because if I ever have to listen to that ai voice again for 2 hours straight, I may cry.
This was dreadful to sit through.
