Food Handler Reviews
4.9
very knowledgeable and got great insights to food safety
it was quite informative and simple while being straightforward as possible
Each lesson was explained well and easy to understand.
Very challenging but got through it
Took a minute but for good reason
User friendly service; content was appropriate for what I needed. Would recommend.
Was easy to digest knowledge and loved the interactive features
Not much to say honestly. Just a heaping helping of videos with an AI voice on em, followed by an exam with questions that have strange wording and answers that don’t really seem to fit super well, or are presented in such a way that the correct answer is unclear. Despite that, if you take even the most basic of notes while going through the course, passing isn’t hard, so my official verdict is: it wasn’t great, but it was painless enough.
Informative and applicable learning presentation.
Helped me learn a lot and very nice and easy to do
