This is a very easy course to take. But the test includes even some small minor details. Pay attention to anything that has a number associated, and remember those types of contamination. You will get asked. I don’t think the test misses anything. So watch the course carefully to remember the details.
If text to speech (not AI; old school TTS) doesn’t bother you and you just want a simple class to get your food handlers certificate, then this is the class for you!
The course is very good, interesting and above all, they teach us different things to implement in our daily life at home
This is a great module to come back to when updating your food handlers it makes it a lot easier because you can make your account so you can come back to it almost any time to finish the course especially if you are busy
it was fun!

Es practico y la voz de la instructora es agradable. Se capta casi toda la información y no cansa
This was a perfect review after 5 years. Easy to follow and appreciated the practice questions.
Even though i have been in the industry for over 20 years its always a good refresher to study this again. Thanks
This food saftey course brushes over the most important parts with the different food processes of receiving, processing, maintaining, and serving. As a lot of the information has been common sense, it is a good reminder to relearn as it’s important to make sure the food is safe for the customers to eat. I did also learn a lot of valuable information about the different food temperatures I didn’t know before taking the course. Overall, I would recommend this to every food manager even if not all the sections apply to them.
I learned a lot
Muy buena experiencia
Was very easy to understand and well paced. Not overly stacked with useless dialogue but just enough to get you to understand what and why.

The food handlers course was easy to follow and gave clear and precise information. I was able to follow along without any issues. I also appreciated that I was able to sign out when I needed to step away for other obligations, then return right back where is was in the review process. The test didn’t take long either and based on the review information, was easy to pass.
