The Class was very Informative. I just wish I would have gotten the results of the test rather then just that I passed so I would know where I went wrong if I went wrong anywhere.
Good information to know
The modules are very helpful. I learned a lot about food handling.

First I appreciate the statement that this was created by a woman and minority owned entity! A lot of information with lots of details.
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.
The course was clear , simple to follow and covered exactly what I needed to feel prepared for my Food Manager test. I liked the step by step breakdowns and practical examples.
Good refresher for real kitchen work too!
would like to have heard a more even voice sound was up and down
Lots of learning to do and different things I didn’t know
Informative, and easy to use.
The training was very well done in my opinion and easy to follow.
Very good course.
don’t want to do survey
Very informative and easy course to follow!! I recommend this course to anyone who’s looking to start their business.
Love the convenience of completing the training at my own pace. Some of the quiz questions along the way (checking for understanding as you complete each unit of learning) were not 100% aligned to the content in that unit, but easy to figure out.
Passing this test
Very informative and descriptive. Gives me a great understanding of how a restaurant/ food prep needs to be.

Long but easy

I feel this covers more in details of the requirements and laws of being an alcohol server. Definitely one of the better courses I have taken.
Good
Great and easy

Very easy and informative
It was complete and comperhensive. Not super exicting but did what was supposed to (teach me what I needed for the test).
I noticed that some of the questions asked in a module did not have the information given in that module, but in a later module instead. Course said 1 hour and 30 mins , but is significantly longer.

this course was super informative and so easy to learn. I really enjoyed the modules.
Dumb you should be honest about the length of the video for people with abusive partners
That’s all I’m gonna say
Good course to take

Learned a lot. Great course👍
This was very informative and easy to understand
Good explanation, videos
Good training and not very boring
I spent the last few hours going through all of the sessions and I have learned so much! I feel prepared for the exam.
I was getting tired of listening to to person. And at times I was wanting to read so I go a bit faster and I learn better by visual.
This was the most informative and easy to follow trainings. It was separated in modules that made sense and when topics are separated by modules, it uplifts topics necessary for good food handlers.
Well Organized and informative but precise.
Relatively straightforward
This course was easy, time efficient, and beneficial!
I am so glad I selected this company for training
It was a great course
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.
The presentation was well put together & easy to digest. I also appreciated the ability to turn on subtitles.
