Food Manager Reviews
4.9
This training was very informative. I wanted the option to rewind 10 or 15 seconds at a time instead of completely starting over a section. Also, it would’ve been helpful to have a greater visual contrast on the progress bar during the videos.
I thought the course was a little long but you need the information that was provided to help pass the food handlers license.
It was a great review and learned a lot of new things and how important it is to take this course before you manage foood.
Succint and impactful presentation
I feel very informed!
Course was very informative and easy to navigate.
It takes a lot longer than 4 hours to complete if this information is new to you. I worked on it for multiple days. I took notes during the course and it took me 3 days to complete.

Course is very informative and straightforward.
Thank you
Good course
I really don’t know what to review
this course was very upfront to the point and useful. Would highly recommend to anyone to use this platform
This was a very easy process. I absolutely love the fact that it is a female And minority own business. That was the sign that I needed that I am doing exactly what I need to do to get my business started. There were some funny moments in the module. They were easy, not very technical and the information was digestible. I will definitely recommend this for people needing their manager certification or their food handlers.
