Each lesson contains detailed information on the topic and fun exercises. The lessons have an optional voice over that will read the lesson out loud. After reviewing lesson materials, a 5 question quiz at the end will test what you have learned. Once you’ve completed all of the lessons, you can take the final exam. You must score a passing grade of 70% to receive your Food Handler or TABC Certificate.
