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.”

“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.”
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.”
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.”
Zoe S
“Overall really great and east experience. It didn't take long to get my food handlers card and I learned everything I needed too!”
