it’s nice they teach you things you think you know but in reality you don’t know them
It was really an informative and interactive course loved the way all information is gathered and delivered, Thank you.
Very informative and was easy to follow along. You can replay any missed information and go at your own pace.
The training materials were fair. The AI voice had very poor diction, mispronouncing a few words and getting the emphasis wrong in several sentences. The negative effect was very noticeable, to me. The exam was significantly worse. At least 5 questions has contradictory or poorly written answer pools. Is it really so difficult to hire an extra HR generalist to write training courses?
I received valuable information about food handling, preparation, cooking, and storage. Maintaining cleanliness is essential in a food business. This knowledge is a great way to learn before starting a food business.
Its great course to learn to handle food, which is more important for any new staters.
The step by step guide and the ability to go back and watch any module again is very helpful. Things are explained completely and very easily understandable. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to get their Food Handlers Certification.
The presentation of the material was concise, easy to follow and well organized.

I loved having the option to download the app to be able to do training on my phone as an option, in addition to my computer. This was very convenient! I loved being able to work on the course at my own pace and availability.
I recommend this to everyone in the Food Service Industries.
very good in explaining and i learn a lot
I enjoyed taking this food manager course. The modules are easy to follow and understand the materials. I also appreciate the quizzes after each section to ensure I understood the material.
I had to use the closed caption for all modules except for two. There was no volume on the rest. It was difficult to follow along at times.
I like that you cannot skip to the next lesson unless you finished the current lesson.
If you require this certification, this course provides comprehensive information delivered in an engaging and well-structured manner.
First of all, thank you for taking the time to develop a very user-friendly course. Secondly, thank you for providing the opportunity to access this type of material in a clear and precise manner, which allows for a deep understanding that is easy to incorporate into our knowledge.
Points are made and then enforced
Videos were detailed and concise. information presented very well
I liked the coarse, very understanding and it didn’t drag out topics.

This course was concise and to the point. Highly recommend!
Clear and precise reviewal. Easy to follow
Since I am up and down with customers, it was nice to be able to start and stop the course as necessary.
This was comprehensive
I learned a lot in this Food Handler training course. The course was thorough and technically sound.
All areas of need to know were covered in this course.
Only thing I wish was different — after each page, the “module completed successfully” popup blocks the next module button. You have to click the X too dismiss (or wait a while) before proceeding to the next module. If you could just scoot that over just a little bit…

I think this is a good practice
It was helpful and informational. Needed for my current work position and the images and descriptions helped. I would suggest videos of real life examples to help visual learners understand the review.
Was very easy and quite straight forward, didn’t take much to pass. Mainly common sense stuff aside from the actual laws.
glad to review all the these important issues.
This course had a lot more information than I expected. It is informative and gives you the necessary information to get the certificate and do your job right.
this course was simple, it got straight to the point, i learned what was needed, tested regularly and got it done!
Very informative and thorough. I know much more about this topic than I expected to.
As someone who doesn’t like taking tests or classes this was relatively painless. Highly recommended if you were like me.

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.
It was super informative and interactive. Great company!
this was easy to do and wasn’t hard to do at all.
this food handler course is very resourceful and will help me keep people safe.
These lessons were very informative. I look forward to taking this information with me throughout my remaining life, thank you.
Love it, clear and easy to understand!
Great Program! Learned a lot that will help me!
Quite informative as the contamination processes were important for us to know or how different allergies could be detrimental for our customers .I feel more confident abou managing food to prevent any foodborne illness.Highly recommended
