i learned alot
It wasn’t even 10 dollars, so it was pretty easy to afford, and it took me about an hour and a half to finish.
Problems with hovering using cell phone. Sometimes it would make me start over when I already completed it. It took about 3 hours to get through it
It was okay, didn’t expect that to happen.
I’d love to cook
Great information!
great
I didn’t like that you had to wait until the “Completed Module” message popped up before hitting the next module button. Other than that it was easy.
I was very impressed with the Training Modules presented by AAA Food Handler. The photos and narrative really helped me to understand and I would recommend them !
Easy way to learn and being knowledgeable before working into food environmental area.
Great course. Straight to the point.
