Travis S.

5-Star Food Manager Training

July 1, 2025

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.

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.
