It was a lot of common sense.
I have taken serv safe over the past 45 years I believe this was much more clear and informative
Test was very understandable and knowledgeable.
Muy educativo
enjoyed seminar
It was quick and simple. I didn’t like that when I’d click next module and go back I’d have to completely restart whatever video I was on and not just resume. Or that I couldn’t just go back in the videos if I missed something. It was a bit slow sometimes but other than that everything was good.
