I appreciate the concise way the slides were put together, the pace of the narrator, the systematic way the content was organized, the review sections along the way, and hope the structure of the exam follows suit! There are many companies who offer this course, and I don’t know how they compare, but this one was really great.
It was very thorough instruction.
It was boring but good
ビデオでの講義で見直すことができるし、英語字幕もつけれるのでリスニングが苦手な自分には良かった。図解も多いので英語が多少わからなくてもなんとなくわかるし、少し調べればわかるので助かった。
This was a great course, I have learned several new things that we will be implementing in our kitchen. Some of the items do not apply, but it was good knowledge to obtain.
Wow…Definitely longer than the 4 hours they claimed, but very informative.
Loved it.

This course was very informative very easy to follow along. I would recommend AAA Food Handler to anyone that’s needing to take any food establishment course.
I never knew how much my mother taught me, could be applicable in the food industry safety. Some things I always took for granted, as, “okay” were not really so. This training has reinforced some beliefs and changed others for the better, not only in my establishment but at home as well.

This course was very informative and really easy to follow.
This was a well put together course with nice information such as knowing proper drink serving sizes, checking to make sure people are of age and what the correct proof of it is, and also how to politely refuse giving drink and simultaneously help out the customer and business. It was all pretty straight forward stuff to me. Although there were a few specifically worded questions and answers that have tripped me up a couple of times.
Very helpful, thanks.

The food handling course was quick and eaay to understand. I didn’t struggle at all to understand the information given and I was able to process everything easily.
good refresh on things to know handling food
easy to understand and nice visual teaching and i could see the instruction over again if i need it
The course with the slideshows was nice, however the speed of the video or slideshow vs the speech was at times difficult to follow
I found the “learn at your own pace” style to be ideal for me personally. The questions while you are watching and the interactive scenes make it fun, not just something you are staring at for an hour. Teaches really important stuff.
I think it is a great learning experience and very detailed
To train my employees the do’s from the don’t so my business can be the top
The review was long but informative
Everything was perfect.
