Sue is a very good instructor. She breaks down the Serv Safe terms into easier terms, so you can understand the concepts better. Also, while you are studying the study guide before attending the class, Sue will answer your e-mailed questions, which helps you to be better prepared for the class day. Sue really wants her students to succeed with Serv Safe. - Arlene Schisler, S. DiPaula & Sons Seafood, Inc.
