The mandatory training wasn’t as bad as some. I liked the visual pictures and also reading the closed caption as I listened to the trainer.

Painful

September 18, 2025

pre Siri level of AI sounding voice. The creators didnt even take the time to record a real human… advertised as “minority and woman owned”, this should never be something to profit off of, and im a minority who owns a business. Test was full of “gatcha” type questions.

Easy and straightforward

One less because sometimes the audio would glitch out. I don’t know if that was because I was doing it through a phone instead of a computer but it did not hinder learning and was only a little frustrating since I could reload and it would be fixed or I could read the subtitles.

Informative, but Dry.

September 18, 2025

Going in, I was not expecting much from this course. The voice over seemed to be computer generated, and the course presentation was extremely sanitized and uninteresting. However, despite covering many topics I already knew, there was still a good amount of content I had no prior knowledge of beforehand, and I ended up learning a fair bit. If your student can get through the dry first impression this course gives off, and has the patience to trudge through some common knowledge early on, I believe they can learn a lot, and become more effective at preparing food safely.
