It was easy and fun
My review on the course is that it was pretty hard at the start then I like locked in and got the test right.
This course was informative and exceeded my expectations and tested my knowledge. I am glad to have taken it and feel much more comfortable in the kitchen now
I loved the training, it was easy to follow through with visuals and captions available.
I especially loved that it was self-paced, and finished in my own time.
Definitely recommend it!
Well explained and easy to follow
I need a food handlers course for work purposes, and this course helped ensure I understood everything about dealing with food.
This review helps you understand the proper step by step guide in handling foods and having a cleaned and sanitized facility.
great training
It was a very thorough training program and the exam reflects what was being taught. I would highly recommend those in the food service industry to follow through on this.
I liked the course however the narrator is a robot which made it harder to listen.
The videos robot voice sounded so bad so boring. They should a a person do the voice over
I knew a lot but also learned a lot!
Mientras estaba viendo los videos, estaba tomando notas en una libreta frequentemente. Pero despues de entrar al examen, note que mucha de la informacion en los videos era innecesaria o demasiado detallada. Solo utilize como un 15% de mis notas. Muchos videos y mucha informacion.
