To earn certification, candidates must pass an exam from an ANSI-CFP accredited program, like the one provided by AAA Food Handler.

Allegheny County
Bucks County
Chester County

Hi
The AI voice sucks. At several points, it clearly misunderstood the language it was reading. It also made it hard to pay attention. Just hire someone to do the read next time
I like how easy it is and that is step by step
This is a good course to take if you need or want more information working with food.

Es un curso super extenso pero muy didactico que explica con muchisimo detalle cada tema sobre las practicas de manipulacion de alimentos y gerencia de un restaurante. Me encanto! muchas gracias.
Perfect
Thank you!
Every module is very detailed and informative. Very easy to follow and comprehend the material in each module. Will definitely recommend this program to others.
There was good information, but the experience was not great. Here are some things I really did not like: the robot narrator was very annoying; the timing was often off between the audio and video; I could not go back to certain points in the video without replaying the entire video; the section on variances was not covered well; but then there are several points that get repeated many times. Repetition is good for learning, but these videos can be rewatched as many times as needed. Some of us don’t need that much repetition, and it just makes for an unnecessarily longer video.
This course was easy to navigate and all the information was easy to understand!

The recertification course should be a review and not the same course that is taken to get the inital certification.
wow!
Mostly fine (Assuming I pass the exam) but the automated voice-over was often difficult to understand because of occasional strange pronunciations and frequent unnatural rhythm, which made comprehension more difficult than it otherwise could be.
I enjoyed the course and the material and review tests was easy to understand. I learned more about various scenerios. Overall i think the structure provided an easy way to understand the basics.

I think AAA is a fun way to get your food handlers license.
Loved it
it was great
I feel like I learned a lot about cross contamination and foodborne illnesses. Although some of the scenes were a little too graphic for my taste. I probably shouldn’t have been eating while taking this course.
This was nice and easy to reivew and understand.
very easy to understand
No issues, easy but too many modules.
Great course!
This mandatory training is made so much easier simply because most of the information is provided and taught via animated training videos instead of simply reading pages upon pages of information. Some of the most important info is color-coded, which makes remembering categories much easier to do come quiz time. There are even “mini-quizzes” spread throughout the modules, just to make sure that some of the most important info is being retained. This is probably the most enjoyable mandatory training I’ve had to do in my 9 years of restaurant work. Thanks so much!
The course was good. I like that it involved more than just read and listen. The exam needs someone to edit the questions as some were poorly written. A few questions seem to have more than 1 right answer. I do not know if that is intentional.
I enjoyed this course and how easy it was to follow along. It gave a lot of great information and provided me with the knowledge needed.
