Very informative and helpful
I liked this course it was short and didn’t feel like a burden.
It’s amazing and explains what I need to know
. . It is too long
It was easier than I expected to be.
Interesting and thorough course
I was very nervous at first, but as I continue to listen to the Instructor/Local Health Inspector I became more confident.
Very informative and as comfortable as we my be in our home kitchen, I think if we remember these practices at home we may see some overall benefits and health differences in our love ones.
I learned so many things about food prep that I never previously considered before taking this course. I will take what I have learned and exercise it mindfully.
This training course was very thorough and made an easy pass
Very educational!
Very straightforward and doesn’t take too long. The exam is not too difficult.
It is important to keep in mind the best practices of food handling to avoid cross contamination and illnesses. Interesting and useful information I learned from this training is to use different cutting boards for different types of food to avoid cross contamination.
Sometimes the most obvious food safety handling is not commonly practiced, it is important to keep in mind the proper ways of food handling to cross contamination and illnesses caused by food handling malpractice.
