      "Efficient, professional and painless. Good location. Trainer for the Food Handler Safety course (Dean) was very knowledgeable, engaging and made the session fun. Highly recommend. Only criticism is the session I attended was on a Saturday and it was quite warm in the classroom. Evidently the air conditioning is not activated on week-ends."
