loved it. very helpful and at my own pace
It’s thanks to this food handler’s training course that I now know the proper ways to store, handle, prepare, cook, serve, and maintain the safest temperature for any given food item. Unfortunately, due to the robotic computerized voice and disingenuous health inspector avatar, it makes it difficult to stay properly immersed and focused on the training course without a living human presence.
This course was educational, interactive, and easy to follow.
Excelente
This is the body of the review, telling people about my experiences.

Course was informative and helpful.
