I cannot offer a fair assessment because I have not taken the text yet

April 11, 2025

The class was helpful. The computerized voice was not super pleasant but it got the job done I suppose.. It is very bad practice to demand a review prior to taking the test. I might have given it 5 stars but as I am only 1/2 complete, I could not offer a true opinion.

AAA Food Handler Diamond Course-

April 11, 2025

The course was quite informative & very thorough throughout.

The training covers the entire process, functions & duties of a food manager/food establishment owner.

It’s well known, Food can easily & seriously harm people & worse!…

I love how this course is very focused on reminding the student of that fact!..

Repeatedly brining focus back to the seriousness of not properly controlling foods.

I’ve already paid for the Allergens course also,

It’s not required for my area but I like the extra added safety of being informed.

My wife and daughter will be taking the food handler course also as they will be helping in our food business.

I 100% recommend this course for all your needs in food & safety training….

Customer service is a huge aspect these days with outsourcing jobs..

I have nothing but positive comments for the agents who I did speak with for general questions pertaining to the courses I trained in….

Overall my full experience was,

MSG info is outdated

October 1, 2025

The course mentions MSG as a negative in food. The crusade against MSG over the last few decades has been proven to be a racially fueled campaign to drive Chinese and other Asian owned restaurants out of business. To not remove and alter that information and acknowledge this only serves to perpetuate a racist anti Asian Rhetoric. I hope you will recognize that continuing to say and spread this misinformation is harmful.
