Alissa
“The program was easy to follow along, great for all types of learners. I was able to take the course on my own time with a busy schedule. Would recommend this to others!”
Gene Nich
“The Information was certainly more in depth from the food handling cards i have gotten in other states. But it can also be a grind. Thus, retaining the information was all well and good. Finding a way to have the material break that barrier would help with retention.”
Nancy Harless
“The course is complete and very well organized, however,I found it nerve wracking! Just kidding, but since I have been out of school a good many years it was a tad nerve breaking to take your course and test for fear I’d fail! No worries though. I scored an 85 ! I think perhaps I took the entire process more seriously than younger participants. ( I’’m 76 years old and needed my Certificate to volunteer)”
John Filicetti
“Great process. Very streamlined and effective. All videos and information was laid out logically making it easy to follow and aiding in taking your tests.”
Ricardo Hernandez
“Had a great experience and it is overall an outstanding course. I learned a lot of safety and rules and am able to continue my work with my food handler card. Thank you!”
