review of certification course

07/01/25

I loved it! It was very easy navigate through. The video was clear, and it explained every step. The mini quizzes after each section helped. The test went smoothly.

Also I had to email a question, and I made a call to them and both the email and call answered my questions, they are very helpful.

Response from FoodSafePal®

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Just to clarify for others reading this—there are no trick questions in the test. Each one is written to align with a validated test blueprint and covers the content taught in the course. If a question feels tricky, it usually means it’s testing an important detail. We aim to challenge fairly, not confuse.

Great Experience

Course was Informative, but too Fast

06/26/25

The information was good, but I feel like it was too fast. I was trying to take notes along the way and had to keep backing or pausing sections to ensure my notes were accurate.
