This was a good review that gave all the relevant information in a easy to follow format.
Sure
All is easy to learn
The training course includes a lot of important information. The course also has a lot of pictures, which is great for visual learners. it goes by pretty fast. I would like the option to skip through the parts that i already reviewed, as some parts does let you skip after you properly went through them. overall i would definitely recommend this to other employers.
This course was great! long but worth it.
This course was informative, and I learned a lot throughout the modules.
Really good and detailed training well explained as well very helpful.
I found the material to be incredibly informative and relevant. I wasn’t fully aware of the importance of food safety until now—thank you for providing such valuable insights.
A straightforward course, easy to follow and complete.
Watching these trainings and videos helped me understand a lot and now to make changes at home as well very thorough and understanding. I would definitely recommend this site for training to anyone I give 10/10
This training provided the information I needed to know for confidence as an aspiring new; first-time food service provider. The only thing I can think of at this time that I would like to see for improvement of food manager training is an area within the training course to ask or submit questions for clarification about information in each section or module of the course. For example, being able to ask questions about the comparison of functions in various states, such as the function of large, garage-door-style openings from indoor dining rooms to outdoor patio seating for customers (witnessed frequently in commercial food service establishments). This is in regard to the portion of training on keeping doors and windows closed, screened, and as recommended, having an air-curtain on doors.

Great Training
I appreciate taking the thorough time to explain, ask, and for me to answer these valuable questions.
Okay thank you
Amazing!
very easy
It was very especific
Learned some good info
Overall, the training offered was informative. However, there are parts of the testing process which included questions not covered in the specific modules previously viewed (although were covered in later modules). Also, you can’t “rewind” the training during a specific module unless you go to start the module over. This makes it difficult to relisten to important info from that specific module.

It forces you to pay attention and gives a lot and more depth information about alcohol service and consumption!

The videos were easy and locking the modules makes sure you watch the videos. I just wish there was an option to speed or slow down the videos because I felt they were a tad slow. Overall, would use this again for renewing my food handlers card.
