The videos honestly explained everything so well that the test was pretty easy.
The overall experience, while time consuming, was very straight forward and I am satisfied with my experience
Was it boring? Yeah. But was it to the point? Also yes. This training didn’t drag on and gave clear information on how to handle food in a safe way. I took a star away because some of the questions in the exam were so badly worded I had to decode what they meant. It was only a couple questions but annoying enough to be an issue.
Learned a lot of things on how to prepare food properly.
Was informative and easy to follow
I don’t know what I scored. Did I pass or fail. No email no text with results I have no idea. Besides that it was a good course good job
The course was easily understood due to the explanations provided with each category.

Most Food handlers course’s I’ve taken takes hours and this one was just under an hour and was easy to follow
This course was informative but the narrator sounded somewhat like a robot which could be easy to lose focus with.
