“The course was easy to pick up and pause when needed. I really enjoyed the quizzes after each chapter as a nice refresher. It allowed me to feel more confident when it came to the final test.”
Martha Wahl
“This isn’t my first time getting a food handlers card here. I like the way explanations were presented to me. They gave clear understandings and was kinda fun to be honest I liked the review quizzes it gave at the end of each chapter. I didn’t get a 100% score but that was my fault. I am definitely recommending this to other people who need a good handlers card.”
Jemyaa Queeley
“The Videos and Modules are easy to track through and hold the knowledge needed for receiving your food handlers card. I went through the full course in span of 2 days. The videos are kinda long but it's easy to manage when you split it.”
Felecia Dozier

Rhea Schneider
“This was a very educational class. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, honestly. The instructor was very personable and attentive to every question that any of the attendees might have. Thank you for the experience!”
