The scenarios made memorizing facts quick.
I loved how In depth it all is, it really makes you feel like your in a college class, and the final exam too. They ask questions that aren’t on the surface level, but important & most importantly, non-ludicrous questions that actually make sense & are difficult.
Boring but informative and common sense to me.
Training was very useful.
fun
Painless & Informative
Cool
The exam provided a comprehensive review of essential food safety practices, covering critical topics necessary for a food handler certification.
The questions focused heavily on temperature control (TCS foods, cooling, reheating, and receiving temperatures, e.g., 135∘F for hot receiving, and the 4-hour danger zone limit).
It reinforced personal hygiene requirements, such as the 20-second handwashing minimum, proper wound covering, and the use of barriers like tongs for ready-to-eat foods.
The exam clearly differentiated between the different types of hazards, including the difference between biological hazards (like undercooked chicken) and physical hazards (like hair).
A particularly relevant detail was the emphasis on the dangers of toxins, which are not eliminated by cooking, and the critical importance of avoiding cross-contamination.
Overall, the exam is highly effective in testing the necessary knowledge for maintaining a safe food service environment.
