Course Review

September 13, 2025

This course was very informative and suited to my learning style. The only thing that could’ve improved my experience is if I were able to rewind the video before watching it fully. There were somethings I need to watch back and had trouble finding the time mark when the video was over.

Food Protection Manager Certification

September 11, 2025

I recently completed the Food Manager Certification course, and it was a very valuable experience. The course covered all the essentials of food safety—everything from preventing foodborne illnesses to proper handling, storage, and regulatory compliance.

What I appreciated most was how clearly the material was presented. The practice exams were especially helpful in preparing me for the certification test, and I felt confident going in. The flexibility to study at my own pace made it easy to fit into my schedule.

I’d recommend this certification to anyone in food service management. Not only does it meet the legal requirements, but it also gives you the confidence to maintain a safe and compliant food environment.
