I took the ServSafe food handling test in 2022. I failed due to the way the instructor taught the class. Level's guide broke down the same lessons in simple and understandable terms. If I took the test right now, I would ace it! Thank you! I cannot wait to be released to continue while supporting Level.

I learned so much from this food handling course. Education is the key to everyone's future. I hate passing my prison time learning nothing. I am working so hard to pull myself together to become a better person and make wise choices. Learning changes lives and builds a better future. I thank you all at Level.

Your guides cover a lot of information but are not overwhelming. I feel inspired and motivated, not only to learn more, but also to apply what I learned and continue the education. The guides are expansive, instructive, and inspiring. They make me imaginative, and I want others to experience that, too.

I studied this guide every day until I was finished. There was so much that I didn't know about foodborne illnesses. To be truthful, cooks have the lives of people in their hands. I know how to handle people's food. You guys present a lot of necessary information that would allow for state licensing.
