Thank you for the five stars, Mel!
Rest your worries
The testing was easier than I though it would be. The learning videos were short enough for those with a short attention span. I took a lot of notes, which while they did help with preparation, but not necessary, since a lot of the information is repetitive.
Response from FoodSafePal®
Thank you Beth! Glad the test was easier than you anticipated, and that you enjoyed the food handler training format!
Good course but may need a few tweaks
This was a good course and had good prompts and explanations when I would miss an answer. However, at the end when you take the test, there is nothing g telling you which ones- if any- you missed. It only said I passed. I would have liked to know if I missed any and be given the correct answers to reiterate the knowledge
Response from FoodSafePal®
Thank you, Chellebelleps! We appreciate the thoughtful feedback. We understand wanting to review missed answers after the final exam. Because the exam is part of an accredited program, we’re required to protect the security of the test questions and answers. This helps prevent answer sharing and ensures the certificate remains credible and widely accepted by employers and health departments. That said, we do try to reinforce learning throughout the course with explanations and knowledge checks so learners can better understand the material before taking the final exam.
On point and straight forward facts
It was a lot easier than I thought..

Thank you! We’re glad you found our food handler training on pont and straight forward!
Quick and Easy
Only issue I had with this entire process was doing it from a mobile device. I was using the iPad that I use for my small business… and seems the swiping feature was a little too sensitive on my end that I kept going back to the previous video. Overall though, I appreciate how fast and easy this training was. The interaction made it helpful to stay focused on important details and capture notes. Glad I was able to get this completed in a timely manner and learn so much!
Response from FoodSafePal®
Thank you! We appreciate that feedback on the sensitivity of the swiping feature as this is a feature we recently added. We’re happy you enjoyed the experience overall — best of luck with your business!
