They train you pretty good
Easy training modules
The training was concise and to the point so there is no wasted time. It gives you exactly what you need to know.
It was ok, 3.5 star review
The material was delivered very fast, I constantly was pausing the videos to take notes. Much easier to follow and take notes with the closed captioning on. Many of the videos the sounds of the next sentence overlapped the first. Some lacked closed captioning and other the captions were wrong. But mostly it was informative and made sense. I wish it would have gone into what the different uses for cleaning chemicals were. Detergents, degreasers, delimers and abrasive cleaners. That would have really been helpful.

Made Me Rethink How We Scoop and Serve
One part of the course that really stood out to me as an ice cream shop owner was the section on temperature danger zones. I always thought as long as the ice cream stayed frozen, we were in the clear—but the course explains how even brief temperature changes during scooping or restocking can allow bacteria to grow, especially in toppings or mix-ins that sit out. It also covered how sanitizing scoops between uses isn’t just about cleanliness—it’s a real food safety measure. Honestly changed the way I look at our prep line.

Could use less fluff but otherwise just fine
