Great course!
I thought this was a great overview with additional details describing how to keep a safe environment for food, employees and customers. I enjoyed that part of the training was interactive and kept my attention.
Yes, as tedious as safety training is, it is important and necessary. This session is to the point and fast enough paced to get you refreshed and updated even when you have been doing this stuff for years. Worth the time and money, thank you.
Overall, a good training. Wish the captions were automatic once turned on instead of having to click it every single time.
Videos help make you understand with ease and the follow up questions help you really read the question before answering
Thanks!
I think the course is fine, but we’ll see when I take the test.

Really simple course. If you have the time and a great mindset, you could knock it down in 4 hours, and just take the test whenever.
This course was very helpful and easy to understand.
I thought this was good information and went rather quickly
It helped me learn about how to manage the restaurant I work at better! There were some grammar and typos in the course however.
Great course – good pace, great graphics, and I liked the test questions at the end of each module.
And I like the practice test/quiz reviews the most.

the complete course is easy to learn, it could be more knowledgeable if we can see the results overall in percentage, or wrong answers, or review the exams thank you
This course was easy to follow and had great information
This program was a necessary step for me in the progression towards owning a retail bakery business- and I am so happy I went with Triple A. This program was straight forward and made learning easy. I would highly encourage anyone looking to study for their food managers exam to look into it.
Very informative and easy to follow.
Thorough and easy to understand modules that are straight to the point
This was great but I want to recommend being able to rewind a video. When taking notes if someone misses something, they can’t just go back 10, 20, 30 seconds – they have to rewatch the whole video.
Good and informative
It was very easy to follow. Very detailed.
I liked the information they provided. It was helpful in ways of actually learning to utilize safe and proper practices in the food business.
