“I loved how each topic broke down into subcategories to further explain of the subject that is being discussed. Very thorough and educational and referred back to where you can obtain the current forms/instructions of hand washing procedures, parasite notice in foods, etc.”

“This was an actual corse on how to handle food and prepare it! On top of cleaning agents and many other topics. There are other places that you can just take the test. I liked that this one was able to teach you everything you needed to know and allow you to do a knowledge test at the end of each module. It is a little time consuming so make sure you have an hr or more available for it! There are 8 total modules. I got some new things I didn’t already know from it! As well as a refresher on things I already did. Over all it was worth it to me. Hope this helps anyone else looking for the right place to get their food handlers card.”
