Food Manager Reviews
4.9
This was a good, concise course. The only thing is that I wish there were written materials to have on hand for studying and future referencing.
Good platform I really recommend.
The information you learn is great but the way it is presented is relatively boring. I wish the teacher was not a robot and the training was more interesting.
The course was easy to follow and gave me the information I needed to pass my exam.
The review was easy to follow along and I feel prepared to take the exam
I appreciate the questions to make sure I retained the material.
This course was really interesting and full of really good information concerning food safety and procedures. I think not only managers, but anyone who work in food service should take this course.
I enjoyed the class, it was easy to understand and not boring and lengthy. Colorful with enough pictures ,i love the review sessions per module.
I found information eye opening
Mandatory training is clearly and easy for understanding.
I learned a lot about food-borne illnesses that I perviously did not have knowledge about. Most everything else is what I do in my everyday practice when dealing with food and mostly common sense.
nice and easy thanks
I like that I can replay sections as I take notes to make sure I caught everything.
Feels very thorough.
Very good, quite educational and very useful for us food company workers.
