“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.”

“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.”
