Easy and on point virtual lesson

The easy to follow instructions were divided into four modules. I have been a hospitality professional—restaurant owner, manager, server—for decades. I’m looking into a catering business and the first thing I did is refresh my food safe knowledge. Your course was terrific and I learned a few things about temperature and time!

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
