“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.”

“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.”

“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”
