The course is very repetitive, which is good for genuine learning and understanding. The visuals used help to convey each topic to all types of learners.

Great course

11/30/25

Very easy to sign up, easy to follow!! And getting documentation of your course was great. My only thing would be to get a review of my test after to see and understand what I got wrong. I passed but that would be great.

Quentin Guillory

Response from FoodSafePal®

Thanks for the great review, Quentin! We’re really glad everything was easy to follow. A lot of people wish they could see which questions they missed, and we certainly get it, but accredited exams don’t allow that because it could impact test security. Congratulations on passing!

Understandable enough for an 11 year old to complete

My daughter runs a baking business and according to Texas Cottage Laws needs a food handlers permit. She finished the videos in two days and passed the test the first time.

I will be getting mine as soon as possible also using the same program. I watched with her as she got her’s and learned A LOT.

Anna Goble

Response from FoodSafePal®

Thanks for sharing this, Anna! It’s inspiring to hear about your daughter’s baking business and her drive at such a young age. We’re glad the training was clear and easy to follow — she may very well be the youngest learner to earn a food handler card with us. We’re thrilled it was a helpful experience for both of you!

Great!

Mel

Life-long learning

11/25/25

I spent many of my young adult years in the food industry, but that was a long tine ago. Food safety hasn’t changed, but now that I’m running my own home based cottage food business, this state-approved course and certification was an easy way to brush up on safety principles I haven’t studied in two decades. I even learned a couple thing I never knew! All of it was useful, even what doesn’t directly apply to my home business, so I didn’t feel like I wasted my time or money. I also know my customers will appreciate knowing I took this voluntary step to ensure their health is a priority.

Catherine

Response from FoodSafePal®

Thank you for the detailed review, Catherine! We’re glad you found the information to be applicable to your cottage food business and wish you the best of success with it!

Happy customer!

Response from FoodSafePal®

Thanks, Stacey! Glad you found the training smooth — best of luck with your business!
