Overall, it gave a nice summation of the expectations and reality of being a feed manager.
Broken down in easy to manage sections, clear facts and practical information made testing easy.
It was very useful and I learnt a lot of useful information regarding food handling. Thanks to AAA
Covered all the material and easy to follow
I live in NJ and am required to take the Food Manager course to become a certified Cottage Kitchen home baker. The AAA Food Handler course was informative and fast. The time passed pleasantly and I hopefully learned a few things I didn’t already know! It was very easy to navigate and I look forward to taking the practice tests with enough success to be able to take the real one shortly.
I appreciate having the opportunity to correctly manage and operate my food service business. This is a great streamlined program that I could fit in to my busy schedule. Thank you!

Hi, Course was overall informative, but I noticed discrepancies in some of the sample questions that are confusing toward acquiring this certification
Informative and excellent training course. I feel that I’ve gained a lot of knowledge from taking this course and will recommend it to all of my colleagues.
an overall great experience. definitely good time duration because I hate anything long.
I was really scared to take this step in my journey to opening my bakery. But this course was clear in it’s presentation of all the information that needed to be addressed. It was the graphics that helped me the best! They were slow and pertained to exactly what was being presented. I liked the multiple choice review quizzes at the end of sections! That helped to calm me down — knowing that I could do this! 🙂
good training
The course was easy to follow and informative.
