I needed to take a food handler course to get a cottage food license. This one covered a lot of subjects, more than I thought it would. I feel confident I can start my cottage food business with proper food handling procedures.
Thank you. This was easy and professional…
This was a very informative course and will help me now and in the future.
Well explained and simple to navigate
REALLY INFORMATIVE AND IMPORTANT COURSE SPECIFIES ALL THAT`S NEEDED IN GREAT DETAIL MAKING IT EASY TO PASS THANKS !
Easy videos, if you truly sit down and pay attention you should be able to pass the first time.
Smooth and fast learning!
It doesn’t give you a progress bar. It’s overall incredibly hard to navigate and then when you finish it’s really hard to find your certificate. Mine didn’t prompt me to do anything and didn’t show up in the certificate sections so I had to contact customer service.

This is a great course and very easy to use
Informative
Course was a good pace and easy to understand.
One part of the course that really stood out to me as an ice cream shop owner was the section on temperature danger zones. I always thought as long as the ice cream stayed frozen, we were in the clear—but the course explains how even brief temperature changes during scooping or restocking can allow bacteria to grow, especially in toppings or mix-ins that sit out. It also covered how sanitizing scoops between uses isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s a real food safety measure. Honestly changed the way I look at our prep line.
Could use less fluff but otherwise just fine
Very detailed helpful and easy going. Great refresher!
The importance of dealing with food
Wasn’t too repetitive, great learning tool for those who do not want to take the in-person course.
This course was very well organized and easy to follow. I originally purchased a different course. Very shady that the other course asked for a review before the course would even start. This course was more money but definitely worth it. Especially since now I have paid for the other course and will most likely not get a refund.
It was good, a lot of important information that helped me to realize the significance for a manager to keep everyone safe and keep up with the business at the same time. Such as identifying potential biological, chemical, food borne hazards that could lead to an unsafe situation.
A good resource. The presentation controls need to be updated, but a strong resource nonetheless.
I completed the AAA Food Handler course, and I’m really happy with it! Everything was clear, informative, and easy to follow. The lessons covered all the important topics.
The online format was super convenient. It was a great experience, and I feel much more confident now.
Provided an easy to follow outline, along with user-friendly ways to review and study at my own pace.
i love that i got to do the course on my own pace. and maria was a great help.
amazing
My first FMCC was back in 2006. Although I’m not a fan of having to take any type of tests, we’ll see how this one goes! I have found this course to be a bit more interesting than the previous ones taken. It goes quickly, is easy to understand, but I probably could have done without the “feeling worms move in their mouth” part. Other than that, two thumbs up!!!

Listen and learn. This training will get you passed if you take the time to listen to the videos.
Liked the videos, explained just what was needed to be known. I do think that some of the test questions can be more clear.

It’s a long course but it thoroughly explains the safety precautions an employee should take. Very Informative.
I’am happy I took this training program, I learned to be proactive rather than reactive, have checks and control points for every process as well as help train team for a better functional work environment. safety is a team effort and there is no better way of accomplishing this as having every team member knowledgeable and aware of why processing have to maintained as well as reporting as need be whenever there is any misunderstanding.
Very useful, easy to understand and informative.
very easy to understand and actually pretty interesting.
The process was easy to understand and clear.

good experience
It was simple to follow and good information.
I enjoyed the course format it was very fun and I did not feel bored at all. I highly recommend this course.
Cross contamination is very important to teach especially those dealing in food corporations, I never knew 60% of Americans/ people do not wash their hands after going to the bathroom, disgusting. Honestly I learned many things from this lesson, and I learned how properly cook meats or prepare them for cooking!
Love it
