The course was perfect! The topics were covered with precision and also tailored to all the attendees' backgrounds, which was perfect! All of that with a very good teacher Keith, who added his experience and quirky humour to it and made a course that could potentially be quite boring into a very interesting and dynamic class. I fully recommend this course to anyone starting a business or anyone needing thorough training in food safety.

I feel a lot more confident preparing food for the community now. Keith shared the information in a relatable and enjoyable way.The class were from different parts of nz and different sectors of the hospitality indystry but somehow we were made to feel like a united group. I especially liked Keith's props( pretend mouse; choc bar and magic 🎩 show) I would recommend this course for everyone who works with food or eats food.
Very easy to understand with a wonderful trainer, Keith Williams , who explained everything in detail?

The content is incredibly detailed, and our instructor, Keith (who is seriously the best!), went out of his way to tailor the material to our specific business requirements. He was engaging, thorough, and genuinely interested in the unique endeavors of each participant.
