This was just a longer version of the standard food handlers course. Feels more bureaucratic than useful.
Would like take away notes and to be able to rewind and replay without starting over. Excellent presentation and useful thank you
Every course was easy to understand and to remember! Everything was fantastic.
Great and fun to learn!
This course has been extremely informative about how to properly handle food when cooking cooling and storing. Not handling food properly could cause illness and even death. It is always safe to follow proper procedures and guideline when preparing food. Where you dine is equally as important as to where your purchase food for cooking. For our own safety and the safety of our loved ones it is important that we do everything possible to stay safe from any foodborne illnesses. Those of us that prepare food for others must be aware of all dangers that could take place by not washing our hands effectively. There is so must to learn about keeping everyone safe in the food industry, this course is an important leap forward in doing just that. There should be no corners cut when preparing food.
Course was easy to maneuver through. English was presented clear and understandable. I like the fact you can pause and pick up later where you left off without trying to find out where you left off at. It starts automatically.
