Overview

First I appreciate the statement that this was created by a woman and minority owned entity! A lot of information with lots of details.

Abbie T.

Not Mobile Friendly

June 30, 2025

The course itself is fine—however, it is not very friendly on mobile formats. The audio sometimes cuts out and you have to restart from the beginning. The “optional” tests are not optional, you do have to complete them before being allowed to schedule your exam. I would have completed these anyway but it was a little annoying to be forced to do them when they’re labeled as optional.

Ashley

The Food Handler (or Food Manager) course is a foundational training designed to ensure that anyone preparing, serving, or managing food operations understands how to prevent foodborne illness, maintain sanitation standards, and comply with government health regulations.

It aligns with the FDA Food Code and typically prepares learners for the ServSafe Manager Exam or equivalent certification exams approved by local health departments.
