Thank you for making this process so easy!! One of the best things happened before I even took the test. I accidentally purchased the wrong product. When I called to ask for a refund, the person who helped me was very friendly and accommodating and immediately refunded my money. Then doing the program is so simple and painless! And I really appreciated that I was able to take the exam online and get my results at the end. No waiting involved! I would recommend this program over the other one anytime!!!

One Important Revision

By:Lucy on Apr 11, 2020

Excellent online course overall, but please please please don't let the water run while washing hands! The key video demo of proper handwashing technique shows the subject leaving the water running throughout: rinse, soap, scrub, rinse, dry (!!) dispose of towel and finally turning off the water. This is at least 30 seconds of running water. Please demo how to turn off the water with an elbow. Thank you! I'm in dry California, but water is precious everywhere.
