Overall good

April 28, 2021

In the beginning instructions need to be more clear about how and when to proceed to next part. Section says 7 types of contamination, then lists 4. Mentions fungi and parasites but no descriptions.

Leanne H.

Very good, but wishing the passing score was higher.

April 28, 2021

Considering that most of this course consists of common sense and hygienic practices, it’s kind of concerning that it only takes a 70% score to pass. This is important stuff!

Otherwise, I did enjoy the course as it is very simple and easy to understand. No beating around the bush or over-complicated jargon here, just straightforward teaching.
