Cecelia Garmon
“This was a very thorough training. I learned a lot more about cleaning and sanitizing than I have in other trainings. I also enjoyed the questions at the end of each module. It helped to reinforce the material that was in the modules. I would recommend this training to everyone that needs a food handlers certification.”

“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.”
