In my classes the Foodhandlers program are heroes…over 98% of students took and passed the course! Thank you again for providing such a wonderful program that is accessible to students that could not ordinarily afford it. I printed out the e foodhandlers card like it was a reward and announced it to the class—they love it! I am hoping we can continue this program next year.

I want you and your organization to know how much my class (and myself) appreciated the opportunity for my students to go through the program free. All but one of my students passed the program. Some needed more help than others, of course. But the joy on their faces when they got their certificate was incredible. When we cook in class they remind me of many of the things we learned. Of all of the class, I suspect that only a few of them will actually work as a food handler, but what an experience for all of them. Many special education students are so ingrained with what they cannot do, they are resistant to even trying "real" activities.

The access to the materials in this training program had a tremendously positive impact on the depth of knowledge of my students. They were collectively the most knowledgeable group of students in terms of food safety that I have had come through my program in the 20+ years I have been teaching this curriculum. Numerous individuals used the certificates they received from this training to take into job applications with them to demonstrate to potential employers that they already possessed this required certificate before even applying—it certainly gave them an advantage over other applicants.
