The course centers on food safety, legal obligations and the responsibilities of food handlers. There are complex sections which are simplified for the learner. The presentation is structured well and made easy for us to understand. I enjoyed my learning experience at Global Edulink.

The course provided thorough explanations. I’ve started registered for it and I’ve completed just a few sessions, but I’m already impressed with the scope of content and resources provided.

The course was practical and used real-life examples. I found this method of teaching very engaging, and I learned more through this course than I had done on the job. I hope to apply my knowledge in the restaurant I work at.
