This was comprehensive
I learned a lot in this Food Handler training course. The course was thorough and technically sound.
All areas of need to know were covered in this course.
Only thing I wish was different — after each page, the “module completed successfully” popup blocks the next module button. You have to click the X too dismiss (or wait a while) before proceeding to the next module. If you could just scoot that over just a little bit…
easy access
Helpful information. Well put together
Straight to the point.
I was able to go through the learning modules quickly while pausing due to external factors. The information presented was clear and absent any unnecesary fill ins. All of the information is applicable to both the exam and day to day workplace use.
