Rather Informative Training

September 28, 2025

It’s thanks to this food handler’s training course that I now know the proper ways to store, handle, prepare, cook, serve, and maintain the safest temperature for any given food item. Unfortunately, due to the robotic computerized voice and disingenuous health inspector avatar, it makes it difficult to stay properly immersed and focused on the training course without a living human presence.

Worthwhile Course

July 5, 2025

The course was smooth. I like the periodic quizzes. I would’ve liked to have left my review after my practice test so I know how much the materials prepared me for the practice (I understand the limitations of prepping for the actual test). But it was easy to navigate, no tech problems, and gave me ideas for my shop that I plan on implementing.

Some of the information came and went a little too quickly on the slide show. I did need to pause and repeat a few of the screens to be sure I understood what it was telling me.

The Basics

October 21, 2025

Although the course material felt dry and repetitive at times, overall the information was informative, and hammered home the basics of working food in any setting. Great course for beginners and for those novice food handlers who may need to remember a thing or two.

Adrienne

Food Manager

October 21, 2025

A food manager plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of a food establishment. To stay aware of what is happening, they must be actively engaged, observant, and organized. One of the most effective strategies is simply being present. Walking the floor, observing food preparation, and monitoring customer service gives the manager a firsthand view of daily operations. This visibility helps identify problems early, such as safety violations, poor hygiene, or inefficiencies in the kitchen.

Maria G.

Informative Course

October 21, 2025

Informative, but the speaking in the video goes fast & there is no way to slow it down on a tablet or phone. The video locks up after the question in the Examples of Cross Contamination portion & then the music plays over the voice for the remainder of the section.
