Darcie Cook
“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.”

“I found the food handler's test to be very easy to understand, which made the entire experience stress-free. The combination of video and audio was especially helpful, as it made the material more engaging and accessible. I really appreciated how clearly everything was explained, and the format made it easy to follow along and retain the information. Overall, it was a smooth and user-friendly learning process.”

“I have been using the FOOD HANDLER SOLUTIONS company since 2022, the ease of the sessions when you can go through each topic, watch the slides and have a little knowledge test at the end of each session to make sure you're retaining the information before you move on to take the actual 40 question test, IS WHAT SOLD ME! The system is very very easy to maneuver to get through each topic, I will continue to use the FOOD HANDLER SOLUTIONS company as long as they're in business.
