This was very informative and easy to understand
I was getting tired of listening to to person. And at times I was wanting to read so I go a bit faster and I learn better by visual.
This was the most informative and easy to follow trainings. It was separated in modules that made sense and when topics are separated by modules, it uplifts topics necessary for good food handlers.
This course was easy, time efficient, and beneficial!
I am so glad I selected this company for training
It was a great course
The presentation was well put together & easy to digest. I also appreciated the ability to turn on subtitles.
very important information to have
Good
It was short 48 videos
The course was interactive, easy to follow, highly educational, and informative.
Good
great speed, length, and not boring
Fairly informative and affective.
They give you a lot of information all at once and then you do the test but I think that’s a good way of seeing if the person was actually paying attention or not
Good
Is not dificult

very clear and precise information.
very informative
IN learn a lot I didn’t know I was making too many mistakes at home risking my health and my family what a great lesson. I would recommend to everyone this website to everyone who want to get into the food business Mary was great tutorial.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Very concise, clear and current material, that moved at a good pace to help retain information, but not bore me and lose my attention. Well recommended.
All good, but consider letting modules to be backed up to allow time to take notes on temps and acronyms. Otherwise very well presented. Thanks!
Food Manager was great.
This Food Manager Course is very thorough and informative.
I learned some new things from this course, even though I have taken this type of course many times before. I liked the fresh, colorful images used in the course. I kept thinking, “I want to eat that food.”
It was often difficult to recognize when the course wanted input other than clicking Next Module. It was visually unclear that I was supposed to do something else in order to progress. This led to having to go back and redo a module unnecessarily. I felt like the Next Module button shouldn’t have worked if I wasn’t ready to proceed. That, at least, would have prompted me to look for another needed input.
This was a fun interactive food safety certification course highly recommend
pay attention
The course mentions MSG as a negative in food. The crusade against MSG over the last few decades has been proven to be a racially fueled campaign to drive Chinese and other Asian owned restaurants out of business. To not remove and alter that information and acknowledge this only serves to perpetuate a racist anti Asian Rhetoric. I hope you will recognize that continuing to say and spread this misinformation is harmful.
The training was interesting and held my attention. I liked the training being broken down into modules.
The course was extremely thorough, and easy to follow. They were very helpful when I needed to extend my learning course prior to my exam and I felt like they really cared.
The food manager training was thorough and well organized, covering all critical aspect of food safety, hygiene and regulatory compliance and course material was easy to follow. thank you.

Amazing course!
In curso Claro y entendible
great
I would have liked to have more practical scenarios; for example how to cut a customer off if they have had too much to drink. More demonstrations or roll playing.
overwhelming learning about alcohol and drugs for 4 hours, but helpful to have the knowledge in my profession. Makes me want to have a drink for anxiety,
it is overwhelming to hear all about the drugs and alcohal but helpful to be aware.
I took this course every time my certificate needed renewal. I know the information by heart. No chance to skip the material and get to the test.
Easy to follow.
Simple, effective and speedy process.
Good
This course is easy to navigate, very straight forward, and very informative. I have taken this course many times over the years and its always a great refresher especially wnen you have moved or changed companies and you realize some of the things that may need to be shared or taken care of that were already done at your prior establishment so they were kindof out of sight out of mind and this course gives you the easy answers to correct those issues.

I liked having a video of visual representations of the topics they were teaching me
The training is very informative, detailed and very easy to follow.
Well explain
Great training and very thorough.
The best thing I like about it is they serve all the videos in one section and after you finish the video take your test so you didn’t go take the test and you haven’t learned
It not as stressful as I thought is was going to be and it is pretty straight forward.
The training was great, easy pace with example to make you think rather than clicking forward. Student cannot forward until topic was covered by instructor. Easy to remember acronyms, etc. Redundant coverage of important topics help me remember topics.
Great and organized courses. Very easy to understand and very informative.
This was my first time doing a food handler course and test and I had a really great experience utilizing this platform!
This was very well put together.Thank you!!!
I had a fun time watching this food safety course. It was interesting how interactive the quiz was.
Easy to work with. Thanks!
The course is fast moving and engaging!
I liked this program. Some of the ways to interact within the module’s videos were really cool. I did not have a problem with any of the subtitles either.
Lots to learn
smooth and easy highly recommend
