Very informational!
Very helpful course. The fact that it is all video makes it more enjoyable, and less of a pain.
Kept my attention fully and explained the information in a short and detailed way.
Information given was easy to remember and apply to review questions.
I greatly enjoyed this program! The information was easy to understand and follow and the graphics used allowed me to better visualize the concepts. I do wish that information charts were shown for a bit longer on screen, but other than that it was great.
very detail oriented and easy to understand! covers everything you need to know!
La plataforma me brindó una experiencia de aprendizaje muy completa. El contenido está bien estructurado, explicado de manera clara y fácil de entender. Además, me permitió estudiar a mi propio ritmo y sentirme preparada para el examen. Las herramientas de práctica y los materiales de apoyo son excelentes, realmente se enfocan en que el estudiante comprenda y pueda aplicar el conocimiento. Sin duda la recomiendo a cualquier persona que quiera capacitarse y obtener buenos resultados en su evaluación.
This was very user friendly and easy to follow/learn.
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.
The training has a good organization, and clarity. It was interesting. I recommended it.
Este curso es muy bueno. Facil de comprender
Great and easy explanation
I have taken other training classes before but this one was simple, informative and to the point!
Good information. Good refresher. Lay out makes it difficult to fulfill daily duties and keep info fresh in mind for test time. Practice tests may help IF they are similar to test. We shall see
Learned alot and by working in a food establishment currently it flows right with my everyday work habits. Very smooth running online class.
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.
