Great training!

Great and useful

Thank you.
Summary of training
This was extensive training that improved my knowledge of food safety
Easy to understand
This was the most easy to follow and understand online class I have taken
Not rocket science, but well formatted
This isn’t a terribly hard concept, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to teach.
The course is well structured and organized. I believe I’m ready for this test (we’ll see!).
The only note I have is that I wish they would hire a real voice actress and not use text-to-speech. That tech makes it much harder to stay focused and a voice actor can do a better job conveying the concepts covered in the course. There were multiple times where I had to spend some time relistening because of the text-to-speech robotic cadence had me thinking they were saying something slightly different than the text (especially with lists).
