Certification made easy!

I was able to do this in one sitting. During the training you’re given practice questions after each segment and if you get it wrong it allows you to go back and fix it so you’ll for sure know the correct answer. Take a few notes during and you’ll be just fine.

Easy and very straightforward

04/25/26

The course is very easy to go along with, it goes a bit fast but you can pause or rewind the videos in order to take important notes which are easy to write down since the videos highlight them as you go in a bullet style,if you write down the bullet points it’s very easy to take the test

Very good Reminders of the do’s and don’ts

04/23/26

I think this is great training for anyone that works near food.

Most of it should be common sense. I however really appreciated the temperature reminders for safe food handling.

Though I place my food in the refrigerator correctly, I was surprised to hear it’s actually a recommended order.

Take notes and understand the training!

04/19/26

For those who haven’t taken this food handlers test, don’t hesitate to get one. It’s easy peasy. I advice you to take notes or memorize it that is if you’re good at memorization. But you can also take your own pace, no rush. It will help your business or job to do the required standard in food handling as long as you apply it in your day to day work. Thanks to Foodsafepal, I passed the test!
