“The course outline was so amazing that I learned a lot. It’s not so difficult to learn just dedication. My experience was superb and I’d definitely recommend the food handler solution to people to take part in it. I got my certificate immediately after the exam and trust me the exams where easy and you’ll pass once you take the courses”

“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.”
Rhea Schneider
“This was a very educational class. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, honestly. The instructor was very personable and attentive to every question that any of the attendees might have. Thank you for the experience!”
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)”
